We rejoice with you in sharing the glorious truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater hope or joy than knowing Him as Lord and Savior! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the 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 divine exchange—our sin for His righteousness, our death for His life—by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Yet we must also emphasize the call to repentance, for true belief is always accompanied by a turning away from sin and a surrender to Jesus as both Savior *and* Lord. As Scripture declares, *"Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way"* (Luke 13:3, WEB). Repentance is not merely sorrow for sin but a radical transformation of heart and mind, where we abandon our old ways and walk in obedience to Christ. Jesus Himself began His ministry with this urgent call: *"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News"* (Mark 1:15, WEB).
To those who are seeking salvation, we plead with you: do not delay! Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins to God, turn from them, and place your full trust in Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never done so, pray now with a sincere heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe You died for my sins and rose again on the third day. I turn from my sins and ask You to forgive me. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior and Lord. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live for You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
For those who have already trusted in Christ, we urge you to walk in the fullness of this salvation. Study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested, for they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord. But do not stop there! The entire Word of God is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). Let the Scriptures shape your mind, renew your heart, and guide your steps. Obey what you read, for Jesus said, *"If you love me, keep my commandments"* (John 14:15, WEB).
We also exhort you to find a Bible-believing church where the Word of God is preached faithfully, where you can be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), and where you can grow alongside other believers in fellowship and accountability. Salvation is not a solitary journey but a life lived in community with the body of Christ.
Let us pray together for all who are seeking salvation and for those who have already placed their faith in Jesus:
*"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You today. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, and draw them to repentance and faith in Jesus. For those who have already believed, we ask for a deeper hunger for Your Word, a greater surrender to Your will, and a boldness to share this Good News with others. Strengthen them to walk in holiness, turning from every sin and pursuing righteousness. May they find fellowship with other believers who will encourage and challenge them in their faith. Lord, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in their lives, for Your glory alone. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
