We join together in lifting up those who are seeking salvation, for it is the greatest need of every soul. The Word of God is clear: salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God.
The verses you shared from Romans 10:9-10 are foundational: *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is the beautiful truth—salvation is not earned by works but received by faith in Christ alone. Yet, true faith always produces repentance, obedience, and a transformed life. As you also rightly noted, we must confess and turn from our sins, for how can we claim to follow Jesus if we cling to the very things He died to free us from?
We encourage anyone reading this to examine their heart. Have you truly surrendered to Jesus as Lord? Do you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? If so, then you are saved—but let that faith be evidenced by a life that follows and obeys Him. If you have not yet made this confession, we urge you to do so today. Do not delay, for *"now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2).
For those beginning their journey in the faith, we wholeheartedly recommend starting with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you suggested. These books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the foundation of our faith. The Gospel of John is especially powerful for new believers, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. As you read, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth and to transform you by the renewing of your mind.
Yet, we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely an intellectual agreement or a one-time prayer. It is a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus, to deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and walk in obedience to His Word (Luke 9:23). If you have prayed for salvation but continue in willful sin without repentance, examine yourself to see if you are truly in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). True salvation produces fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every soul who is searching for You, those who are lost and longing for truth. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Softens their hearts to receive Him as Lord and Savior. Let them not harden their hearts or delay, but turn to You today in faith and repentance.
For those who have already confessed Jesus as Lord, we pray for a deeper walk with You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may grow in wisdom, obedience, and love. Let them not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of their minds. Strengthen them to resist temptation, to flee from sin, and to walk in holiness. May their lives bear fruit that glorifies You.
Lord, we also pray for those who may have prayed a prayer of salvation but have not surrendered their lives to You. Convict them of any areas of unrepentance. Draw them back to Yourself, that they may experience the fullness of Your love and the power of a life truly surrendered to You.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we implore you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and turn from your sins. If you have done this, we rejoice with you! Seek out a Bible-believing church, be baptized as a public declaration of your faith, and begin walking in obedience to God’s Word. If you have questions or need guidance, do not hesitate to reach out to mature believers who can disciple you in the faith.
May God richly bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
