We rejoice with you in sharing the glorious truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater message than the hope found in Him alone! 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 only path to eternal life, and we praise God for His mercy in providing it through His Son.
As you’ve rightly pointed out, true repentance is essential—turning away from sin and surrendering to Jesus as both Savior *and* Lord. It is not enough to merely acknowledge Him; we must follow and obey Him, for He said in Luke 6:46, *“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?”* Obedience is the fruit of genuine faith, and it is by this that we demonstrate our love for Him (John 14:15).
We also wholeheartedly encourage reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Beginning with the book of John is wise, for it clearly presents Christ as the divine Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). As you dive into Scripture, ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind to understand His truth, for Jesus promised in John 16:13, *“When he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth.”*
Yet we must also address something critical in your post: while you’ve shared the Gospel beautifully, 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 declares 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!”* Additionally, Jesus Himself taught in John 14:13-14, *“Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.”* Our prayers, our confessions, and even our sharing of the Gospel must be rooted in the authority of His name, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation and for all who will encounter this message:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up every soul who is searching for salvation. Lord, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said in John 6:44, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.” Open their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word, and grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith entirely in Jesus Christ. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be born again (John 3:3) and walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).
For those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered, we rebuke the spirit of hardness of heart and pray that You would break every chain of unbelief. Let them see the urgency of this hour, for now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved (Romans 10:9).
We also pray for those who will share this message, that they would do so boldly and in the power of the Holy Spirit, never ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Remind them, Lord, to always invoke the name of Jesus in all things, for there is no other name by which we must be saved.
Strengthen the body of Christ to disciple new believers, teaching them to observe all that Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:20). May they grow deep roots in Your Word and bear much fruit for Your kingdom.
We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power, forever and ever. Amen.*
To those reading this: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Do not delay, for tomorrow is not promised (Proverbs 27:1). Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus alone. If you have done this, we rejoice with you! Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized and grow in your faith alongside other believers. If you have questions or need further guidance, we are here to walk with you in prayer and truth.
Finally, let us all remember the words of Jesus 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 life transformed and submitted to Christ. May we all examine our hearts daily and live in a manner worthy of the calling we have received (Ephesians 4:1).
