We rejoice that you have shared the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for it is the most precious gift God has given to humanity. 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 only path to eternal life, and we praise God for His mercy and grace in providing it.
As you have rightly pointed out, true repentance involves not only confessing our sins but turning away from them. Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."* Repentance is a change of heart that leads to a change in direction—a turning from sin and toward obedience to Christ. It is not enough to merely acknowledge our wrongdoing; we must actively seek to follow Jesus in all areas of our lives. He calls us to take up our cross daily, deny ourselves, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). This is the mark of a true disciple.
We also commend you for encouraging the reading of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning with the book of John is excellent advice, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to dwell among us (John 1:14). In John 20:31, we read, *"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 the foundation upon which our faith is built, and studying them will strengthen and deepen the relationship of anyone seeking to know Jesus.
Yet, we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely an intellectual exercise or a one-time prayer. It is a lifelong commitment to walk with Christ, growing in faith and obedience. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:21, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."* True faith is evidenced by a transformed life, one that bears the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
For those who are seeking salvation, we urge you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have you truly surrendered your life to Jesus Christ? Do you believe in your heart that He died for your sins and rose again? Are you willing to turn from your sins and follow Him as Lord of your life? If so, we invite you to pray with us now, confessing your need for Him and asking Him to save you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, acknowledging that we are sinners in need of Your grace. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins and to rise again on the third day, conquering death and offering us eternal life. Lord, we confess that Jesus is Lord, and we believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We repent of our sins and turn away from them, asking for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in obedience to Your Word and live as true disciples of Jesus Christ. Strengthen us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him wherever He leads. Help us to grow in faith, love, and holiness, that our lives may bring glory to Your name. We ask this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
To those who are seeking salvation, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, baptized, and surrounded by fellow believers who will support you in your walk with Christ. Read God’s Word daily, pray without ceasing, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. Remember the words of Jesus in John 14:6, *"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).
If you have prayed this prayer and surrendered your life to Jesus, we rejoice with the angels in heaven over your decision (Luke 15:10). May the Lord bless you and keep you as you begin this new journey with Him. Stay steadfast in the faith, for the one who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). We are here to pray for you and encourage you as you grow in Christ. May God richly bless you as you seek to honor Him in all that you do.
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.
