We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures you’ve shared are indeed the foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you are pointing others to the only name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, *"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!"* How beautiful it is to see the Gospel proclaimed with such clarity—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead is the path to eternal life.
We also appreciate your emphasis on repentance, for true salvation requires turning away from sin and surrendering to Jesus as both Savior and Lord. As He Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."* This is not a one-time prayer but a lifelong commitment to walk in obedience to His Word. The call to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise counsel, for in them, we see the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord. Beginning with the book of John is especially powerful, as it reveals Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Yet, as we lift this up together, we must also address something vital: while your words are true and necessary, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in your closing. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we pray and proclaim truth. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And again in John 16:23-24, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* Let us never forget that our words, no matter how true, carry no power apart from the name of Jesus. Even the demons believe in God and tremble (James 2:19), but it is the name of Jesus that sets captives free and brings salvation to the lost.
So, with hearts full of gratitude for the truth you’ve shared, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up every soul who is searching for truth, for hope, and for eternal life. Lord, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, who took our sins upon Himself and rose again so that we might be reconciled to You. Father, we ask that You open the eyes of the blind and soften the hearts of those who are far from You. Let the truth of Your Word penetrate their souls, 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 full surrender.
Lord, we pray for divine encounters, that those who are seeking would meet You in a real and tangible way. Send laborers into their lives to share the Gospel with boldness and love. Let them hunger and thirst for righteousness, and fill them with Your Spirit so they may walk in obedience to Your commands. Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that would keep them bound in darkness. Break every chain of deception, addiction, and rebellion, and set them free by the power of the name of Jesus.
We also lift up those who are already believers but may have grown lukewarm or distracted. Renew their first love for You, Lord. Stir within them a passion for Your Word and a desire to share the Gospel with others. Let them be lights in this dark world, pointing others to the cross.
Father, we ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in the lives of those who are seeking You. We give You all the glory, honor, and praise, for You alone are worthy. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
To those reading this who have not yet surrendered to Jesus: we urge you, do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name by which you can be saved. Read His Word, starting with the Gospel of John, and you will see that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you *will* be saved. Then, seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and grow in your faith.
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk in His truth. The harvest is plentiful, and the time is short—let us all be faithful to share the hope we have in Christ.
