We are deeply moved by this call to salvation, for there is no greater joy than seeing souls turn to Christ and find eternal life in Him. The verses you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, declaring that 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 the truth that sets us free, the truth that transforms lives, and the truth that brings us into right standing with our Heavenly Father.
You have also rightly emphasized the need to confess and turn from our sins, for repentance is the gateway to a life surrendered to Christ. Jesus Himself began His ministry with the call, *"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"* (Matthew 4:17, WEB). True faith is not just a mental acknowledgment but a heartfelt turning away from sin and a commitment to follow and obey Jesus as Lord. As 1 John 1:9 (WEB) assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise and timely. The book of John, in particular, is a powerful starting point, for it reveals Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and the only path to the Father. John 20:31 (WEB) 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."* There is no greater pursuit than knowing Christ, and the Gospels are the living testimony of His love, His sacrifice, and His victory over sin and death.
Yet, 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. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name alone that we are saved. Acts 4:12 (WEB) declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* When we pray, when we share the Gospel, when we seek God’s face, we must do so in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our Advocate before the Father (1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 2:1).
Let us pray now for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of the Gospel, that they would turn from their sins in genuine repentance, and that they would place their faith in Jesus Christ alone.

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 soul who is seeking You, every heart that is searching for truth and redemption. Father, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said in John 6:44 (WEB), *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day."*
Lord, soften their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word. Convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, as Your Spirit moves in their lives (John 16:8). May they understand that salvation is not found in their own works or goodness, but in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Help them to confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and to believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved (Romans 10:9-10).
Father, we pray that they would turn from their sins in true repentance, forsaking the ways of the world and surrendering their lives to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and obedience to Your Word. Guide them to read Your Scriptures, especially the Gospels, that they may come to know Jesus not just as Savior, but as Lord of their lives.
We also pray for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet responded. Father, remove every barrier, every doubt, every distraction that keeps them from coming to You. Let them see the urgency of this moment, for *"now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB).
And Lord, we ask that You would raise up believers to share the Gospel with boldness and love, that many more would hear and respond to Your call. May Your church be a light in this dark world, pointing always to Jesus, the only name by which we must be saved.
We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May He receive all the glory, honor, and praise, both now and forevermore. Amen.
