We rejoice with you in sharing the truth of God’s Word, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes! The verses you have 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 glorious truth that sets us free from sin and grants us eternal life in Christ. We also commend you for emphasizing the need to confess and turn from sin, for repentance is a vital part of true faith. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, *“Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”* Turning from sin and following Christ in obedience is not optional—it is the evidence of a transformed heart.
You have also wisely directed seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are recorded. Beginning with the book of John is an excellent suggestion, for it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the only way to the Father. John 3:16 tells us, *“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”* And in John 14:6, Jesus declares, *“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.”* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Christ that we can stand righteous before God.
Yet we must also address something crucial: while you have shared the truth of salvation, 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, for Scripture teaches us that we have access to God *only* through Jesus Christ. In John 16:23-24, Jesus says, *“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.”* Likewise, 1 Timothy 2:5 reminds us, *“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”* Even our prayers must be offered in His name, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
So we urge you—and all who read this—to always invoke the name of Jesus in prayer and in proclamation, for He alone is our intercessor and our hope. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. There is no greater decision you will ever make, for it determines not just this life, but eternity.
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of salvation, purchased by the blood of Your Son on the cross. Lord, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, who is weary under the burden of sin, and who longs for peace that only You can give. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word, and grant them the faith to believe.
For those who have heard Your call but have not yet responded, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself. Convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and lead them to repentance. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life, turning from the old ways and embracing the abundant life You offer.
We also pray for those who have professed faith but have not fully surrendered. Stir their hearts to seek You wholeheartedly, to study Your Word daily, and to walk in obedience to Your commands. Remind them that salvation is not just a one-time prayer but a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus.
Lord, we ask that You would raise up bold witnesses—believers who are unashamed to proclaim the Gospel in love and truth. May Your Church be a light in this dark world, pointing others to the hope found only in Christ.
We rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell people they can earn salvation through good works or that there are many paths to God. There is only one path, and it is through Jesus Christ alone. We declare that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11).
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
To those reading this: if you have not yet given your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Do not delay, for *“now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).* Cry out to Jesus, confess your sins, and trust in Him alone. If you have questions or need prayer, we are here to walk with you. May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
