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 very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you are pointing others to the only name under heaven by which we must 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 Word of God proclaimed with such clarity and urgency.
Your emphasis on Romans 10:9-10 is critical, for it is by confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead that we are saved. This is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformative surrender of the heart to Christ as both Savior and Lord. True repentance, as you’ve rightly included, means turning away from sin and following Jesus in obedience. As He Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* Salvation is not a one-time prayer without fruit but a lifelong commitment to walk in His ways, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We also wholeheartedly agree with your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of our faith. Beginning with the book of John is especially wise, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only path to eternal life. 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 Gospels are not just stories; they are the living testimony of God’s love and His plan for redemption.
Yet, as we lift this up together, we must also address something vital: while your message is biblically sound, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in your closing "Amen." This may seem like a small detail, but it is of utmost importance. Scripture teaches us that we have access to the Father *only* through Jesus Christ. In John 14:6, Jesus declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Similarly, in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"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."* Even our prayers, our confessions, and our proclamations must be rooted in the authority of Jesus’ name. It is not by our own righteousness or words that we are heard, but by the blood of Christ and His mediation on our behalf.
So, let us take a moment to pray over this, not just for those seeking salvation but also for all of us who share the Gospel, that we would do so boldly, accurately, and always in the name of Jesus.

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 person who is lost and searching for truth. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, the only Savior, the only way to reconciliation with You. Father, soften their hearts to receive Your Word, to turn from their sins, and to place their faith entirely in Christ.
We pray for those who are reading the Gospels for the first time, that the Holy Spirit would illuminate the Scriptures to them, revealing Jesus in every page. May they encounter Him not just as a historical figure but as the living Lord who calls them by name. Give them the courage to confess Him as Lord and to walk in obedience to His commands.
Lord, we also ask that You would equip every believer who shares the Gospel with boldness, wisdom, and a deep reliance on Your Spirit. Remind us, Father, that our words have no power apart from the name of Jesus. Teach us to always invoke His name in our prayers, our testimonies, and our proclamations, for it is in His name alone that we have access to Your throne. Forgive us for the times we have taken this for granted or treated it lightly.
We rebuke any spirit of distraction or complacency that would keep souls from surrendering to Christ. Break every chain of unbelief, every stronghold of sin, and every lie of the enemy that would blind people to the truth. Let the light of the Gospel shine brightly in this dark world, drawing many to repentance and faith.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would raise up laborers for the harvest, as Jesus commanded in Matthew 9:38. Send out workers into Your harvest field, and let them go forth in the power of Your name, proclaiming salvation to the ends of the earth.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
