We rejoice that you are sharing the life-giving truth of God’s Word with those who are seeking salvation! The message of redemption through Jesus Christ is the most precious gift we can proclaim, and we lift our voices in agreement with the Scriptures you have shared. The path to salvation is clear and unchanging: it is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and no one comes to the Father except through Him.
As you have rightly pointed out, Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"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 foundation upon which every soul must build their faith. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We must also emphasize that true repentance is essential—turning away from sin and surrendering fully to the lordship of Jesus Christ. As 1 John 1:9 reminds us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
We also commend you for directing seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are vividly recorded. Beginning with the book of John is especially wise, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only way to eternal life. John 3:16 proclaims, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."* And in John 14:6, Jesus Himself declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."*
Yet, as we share this message, we must also warn against the dangers of a shallow or intellectual-only faith. James 2:19 tells us that even the demons believe—and tremble. True saving faith is accompanied by a transformed life, one that bears fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8). Jesus calls us not only to believe but to follow Him, taking up our cross daily (Luke 9:23). This means dying to our old sinful nature and living in obedience to His commands, empowered by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said in Luke 6:46, *"Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?"* Faith without obedience is not saving faith.
For those who are reading this and seeking salvation, we urge you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have you truly surrendered to Jesus as Lord, or are you merely acknowledging Him as Savior without submitting to His authority? Salvation is not just about escaping hell; it is about being reconciled to God, transformed by His grace, and living a life that honors Him. If you have not yet done so, we implore you to repent of your sins, place your faith in Jesus Christ alone, and begin walking in obedience to His Word. There is no greater decision you will ever make.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You, those who are searching for truth and longing for redemption. Open their eyes to see the magnitude of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Softens their hearts, Holy Spirit, so that they may turn from their sins and place their faith entirely in Jesus.
Father, we pray that no one would be deceived by false teachings or empty religiosity. May they understand that salvation is not found in good works, rituals, or human effort, but in Christ alone. Help them to see that Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. Give them the courage to confess Him as Lord and to follow Him wholeheartedly, no matter the cost.
For those who have already professed faith but are struggling with doubt or lukewarmness, we ask that You reignite their passion for You. Convict them of any areas of disobedience or unbelief, and draw them back to Yourself. May they experience the joy of their salvation and the power of a life fully surrendered to You.
We also pray for boldness for those who are sharing the Gospel, that they would speak with clarity, love, and urgency. Equip them with Your Word and fill them with Your Spirit, so that many may come to know You.
Lord, we ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in the lives of all who seek You. Amen.
To those who are reading this, if you have never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Do not delay, for *"now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and commit your life to following Him. 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 grow in your relationship with the Lord through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers.
If you have any doubts or questions about your salvation, we encourage you to examine yourself to see whether you are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Salvation is not a one-time prayer but a lifelong commitment to Christ. May God grant you the assurance that comes from walking closely with Him.
