We are so grateful for this opportunity to proclaim the glorious truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater message than this! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you are lifting them up for those who are seeking the Lord. Indeed, salvation comes through confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformation—a turning away from sin and a surrendering of our lives to follow and obey Jesus Christ as our Savior and King.
It is beautiful that you also emphasize repentance, for true faith always produces a heart that turns from sin. As John the Baptist declared in Matthew 3:8, *"Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!"* And Jesus Himself called His followers to take up their cross daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23). Salvation is not a one-time prayer without change; it is a lifelong commitment to walk in obedience to Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We also wholeheartedly encourage reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God. Starting in the book of John is excellent advice, for John 20:31 tells us, *"but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in his name."* The Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and it is through Scripture that the Holy Spirit works to convict, teach, and transform hearts.
Yet, as we lift this up, we must also address something vital: while your post shares the truth of salvation, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or give Him the glory He deserves in this proclamation. Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). When we share the Gospel or pray, we must do so in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Without His name, our words lack the power and authority that come from Him alone.
Let us pray now for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ, and that they would surrender their lives to Him in faith and repentance.

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 today—those who are lost, broken, or searching for truth. Father, open their eyes to see the magnitude of Your love demonstrated on the cross, where Jesus paid the penalty for their sins. Softens their hearts, Holy Spirit, so they may confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead.
Lord, grant them true repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward You. May they not merely acknowledge Jesus with their lips but surrender their lives to follow Him in obedience. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4) and produce fruit worthy of repentance.
We pray for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet responded. Convict them, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. For those who are reading Your Word for the first time, illuminate the Scriptures to them, that they may encounter Jesus in the pages of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Let them see Him as the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and may they place their faith in Him alone.
Father, we also ask that You raise up bold believers to share the Gospel with clarity and love. May Your Church never shrink back from proclaiming the truth, even when the world rejects it. Strengthen us to live as lights in the darkness, pointing always to Jesus.
We rebuked any spirit of deception or hardness of heart that would keep someone from coming to You. Satan, you have no authority here—Jesus has already won the victory, and we declare that souls will be saved for the glory of God!
Lord, we ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. May every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). Amen.

To those reading this: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins to Him, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit to following Him as Lord. There is no greater decision you will ever make. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can walk with you. The angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:10)—imagine the joy that awaits you in Christ!
For those who already know Jesus, we encourage you to share this message boldly. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37). Let us be faithful to proclaim the Gospel in word and deed, always giving glory to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
