We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word and the path to salvation, for there is no greater gift than the knowledge of how to be reconciled to our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. The verses you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 are foundational to our faith, and we echo them with gratitude: *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."* This is the glorious truth—salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
We also affirm the call to repentance, for Jesus Himself began His ministry with these words: *"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"* (Matthew 4:17). True faith in Christ involves turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to follow Him as Lord. As 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* This is not a one-time act but a lifelong journey of walking in obedience to His Word, guided by the Holy Spirit.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Beginning with the book of John is especially powerful, as 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 the purpose of this Gospel: *"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."* We pray that all who seek salvation will immerse themselves in Scripture, for *"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17).
Yet we must also address something vital: while your post shares the truth of salvation, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or give Him the glory He deserves in this proclamation. It is *only* through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is by His authority that we pray and declare these truths. When we share the Gospel or lift up prayers, we must do so in His name, for *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13). Let us never separate the truth of salvation from the Person who accomplished it—our Lord Jesus Christ.
To those who are reading this and seeking salvation, we urge you: do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and turn from your sins to follow Him. If you have never done this, you can pray right now, in faith:
*"Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I confess that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and that You raised Him from the dead. I turn from my sins and ask Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live for You all the days of my life. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer in sincerity, we rejoice with the angels in heaven over your repentance (Luke 15:10)! Now, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized, grow in your faith, and fellowship with other believers. Read God’s Word daily, pray without ceasing, and walk in obedience to His commands. Remember, *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17).
For those who are already believers, we exhort you to share this Good News boldly and without shame. The world is perishing without Christ, and we are His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). Let us proclaim the Gospel in word and deed, always pointing others to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We lift up a prayer now for all who are seeking salvation and for those who are sharing the truth of Christ:
*"Our gracious Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for the gift of salvation and the sacrifice of Your Son on our behalf. Lord, we pray for every soul who is searching for You, that You would draw them to Yourself (John 6:44) and open their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel. Remove every barrier of unbelief, pride, or hardness of heart, and grant them the gift of repentance leading to life.
For those who have heard Your Word but have not yet surrendered to Christ, we ask that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and grant them faith to believe. Let them know that today is the day of salvation and that Your arms are open wide to receive them. May they confess Jesus as Lord and turn from their sins to walk in newness of life.
We also pray for Your church, that we would be faithful witnesses of Your love and truth. Fill us with boldness to proclaim the Gospel without fear, and give us compassion for the lost. Help us to live in such a way that our lives reflect the transformative power of Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask that You would protect Your people from false teachings and empty philosophies that lead astray. Ground us in Your Word, and let us never waver from the truth that salvation is found in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone.
Finally, Father, we pray for those who have newly come to faith in Jesus. Strengthen them, fill them with Your Spirit, and surround them with believers who will disciple them in Your ways. May they grow deep roots in Your love and walk in obedience to Your commands.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen."*
