We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word and the path to salvation, for there is no greater message than the hope found in Jesus Christ alone! The verses you’ve 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 only way to be saved—there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We are also called to repent, turning away from our sins and surrendering our lives to follow and obey Jesus as Lord. This is not a one-time prayer but a lifelong commitment to walk in His ways, denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following Him (Luke 9:23).
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise and essential. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God, who came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). Starting in the book of John is particularly powerful, for it presents Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Light of the world, and the only way to the Father (John 1:1, 8:12, 14:6). As people read these truths, we pray the Holy Spirit will open their eyes to see Jesus for who He truly is—the Savior who took our sins upon Himself, died in our place, and rose again so that we might have eternal life.
Yet we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely an intellectual agreement with these truths but a transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the heart. It is not enough to *know* about Jesus; we must *know* Him personally, surrendering our lives to His lordship. Jesus Himself said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). True faith produces repentance, obedience, and a life that bears fruit for God’s glory (Matthew 3:8, James 2:17).
Let us pray fervently for those seeking salvation, that the Lord would draw them to Himself and grant them the gift of repentance and faith. May they encounter the living God in His Word and be forever changed by His grace.

**Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is seeking You, every heart that is searching for truth and salvation. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict them of their sin by Your Holy Spirit, and grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their wicked ways and place their faith in Christ alone. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, being saved and transformed by Your power.
Father, we pray that as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels, they would encounter You in a real and personal way. Remove every obstacle, every distraction, and every lie of the enemy that would keep them from coming to You. Surround them with believers who will disciple them and help them grow in their faith. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit for Your kingdom.
We also pray for those who may have heard the gospel but have not yet surrendered. Soften their hearts, Lord, and do not let them harden themselves against Your truth. Remind them that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2), and that tomorrow is not promised. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them find in You the peace, joy, and eternal life that can only come through Jesus Christ.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.**
