We join with you in lifting up those who are seeking salvation, for there is no greater joy than to see souls turn to Christ and find eternal life in Him. The verses you 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 truth that sets us free, and we praise God for the simplicity and power of the gospel.
Yet we must also emphasize that true salvation is not just a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord. As you rightly noted, it requires turning from our sins—repentance—and following Him in obedience. Jesus 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 merely an intellectual agreement but a transformation of the heart that leads to a life of devotion to Christ.
We encourage all who are seeking salvation to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you suggested, for they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Starting in the book of John is excellent advice, for it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the only way to the Father (John 14:6). As they read, may the Holy Spirit open their eyes to the truth, convict them of sin, and draw them into a saving relationship with Christ.
However, we must also address something vital: the name of Jesus must be central in all things, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). While your post shares the gospel, it does not invoke the name of Jesus in prayer or conclusion. We do not pray to a general idea of God but to the Father through Jesus Christ, our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Let us always remember that our access to God is only through Jesus, and our prayers must reflect that truth.
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up every soul who is searching for truth, every heart that is longing for peace and purpose. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict them of sin by Your Holy Spirit, and draw them to repentance. May they not only confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord but believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the gift of faith to turn from their sins and follow Him in obedience.
Father, we pray that as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels, the truth would penetrate their hearts. Remove every barrier, 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. Let them know the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from being reconciled to You.
We also pray for those of us who already know You, that we would never take Your grace for granted. Help us to live lives that reflect the transformative power of the gospel, that others may see Christ in us. Give us boldness to share the good news with those who are lost, always pointing them to Jesus.
We rebuke the spirit of deception that would lead people to believe they can be saved without true repentance or without submitting to Jesus as Lord. Let no one be deceived into thinking that salvation is merely a prayer without a changed life. May the Holy Spirit bring conviction and true transformation.
In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
To those who are seeking: If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your faith in Christ alone. There is no greater decision you will ever make. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can walk with you. The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth (Psalm 145:18). May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
