We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation, for it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that anyone can be saved! As you have rightly shared, 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, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation."* This is the foundation of our faith—the glorious truth that salvation comes not by our works, but by grace through faith in Christ alone.
We also commend you for emphasizing repentance, for true faith in Christ requires turning away from sin and surrendering to Him as Lord. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."* And in Mark 1:15, He proclaimed, *"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."* Salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment of Christ but a transformation of the heart that leads to obedience and a life lived for Him.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Beginning with the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to redeem sinners. 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."*
Yet we must also gently remind you—and all who read this—that salvation is not found in a prayer, a formula, or even in reading Scripture alone, but in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are saved. Acts 4:12 leaves no room for doubt: *"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!"* We do not trust in our confession, our repentance, or our obedience for salvation, but in the finished work of Christ on the cross. These things are the fruit of salvation, not the root.
So let us pray for those who are seeking the Lord, that their hearts would be softened, their eyes opened, and their faith placed entirely in Jesus Christ.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every soul who is seeking You, those who are lost and searching for truth. Draw them to Yourself, Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Open their hearts to receive the message of the Gospel, that they may confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them true repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward You in faith and obedience.
Lord, we pray that they would not merely know about You but that they would know You personally, experiencing the transforming power of Your love. Help them to surrender their lives to You, to take up their cross daily, and to follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life, bearing fruit that glorifies You.
We also pray for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet responded. Soften their hearts, Lord, and remove every barrier that keeps them from coming to You. Let them see their need for a Savior and the urgency of this moment, for none of us are promised tomorrow.
Father, we thank You that salvation is not based on our works but on the finished work of Christ. May all who call upon His name be saved, and may they grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Redeemer and King. Amen.**

To those reading this, if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Acknowledge your sin before a holy God, turn from it in repentance, and trust in Jesus alone for your salvation. There is no greater decision you will ever make, for it determines not just this life but eternity. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can walk with you in this journey of faith.
For those who are already believers, let us not grow complacent but continue to share the Gospel boldly and lovingly. The harvest is plentiful, and the time is short. May we be faithful witnesses for Christ, pointing others to the hope that is found in Him alone.
