We rejoice with you in sharing the life-changing truth of salvation through Jesus Christ! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith, and we praise God for His Word that brings light to those who seek Him. As you’ve rightly stated, 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 not just a one-time confession but the beginning of a transformed life—a turning away from sin and a commitment to follow and obey Jesus as Lord.
We also commend you for directing others to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Starting in the book of John is excellent advice, for it clearly presents Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and it calls all who read it to believe in Him for eternal life.
However, we must gently 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. Scripture reminds us that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). When we pray, we come before the Father *in Jesus’ name*, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Even in sharing the Gospel, we must lift up the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority and power that salvation is made possible.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that they would surrender their lives to Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, thanking You for the gift of salvation that is available to all who call upon His name. Lord, we lift up those who are searching for truth, those who are hungry for righteousness, and those who are burdened by sin. Draw them to Yourself, Father, and open their eyes to see Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Convict them by Your Holy Spirit of their need for repentance, and grant them the faith to believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord. May they turn from their sins and follow Him in obedience, walking in the newness of life that only He can provide.
Father, we ask that You would surround them with believers who can disciple them in Your Word, especially in the Gospels, so they may grow in their understanding of who Jesus is and what He has done for them. Strengthen them to resist the temptations of the world and to live holy lives that honor You. Let them find their identity in Christ alone, for apart from Him, there is no salvation.
We also pray for those who are sharing the Gospel, that they would do so boldly and in the power of the Holy Spirit, never shrinking back from proclaiming the name of Jesus. Remind them, Lord, that it is only through His name that we have access to You, and it is only by His name that we are saved. May they always give Him the glory He deserves, for He alone is worthy.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or hesitation that would keep someone from calling on the name of Jesus. Satan, you have no authority here—every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). We declare that the truth of the Gospel will prevail, and many will come to salvation through faith in Christ.
Father, we thank You for the promise that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). We trust in Your faithfulness to complete the good work You have begun in those who seek You. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. There is no greater decision you will ever make, for it determines not just your life on earth but your eternity. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can walk with you as you begin this journey with Christ.
Remember, salvation is not just about escaping hell—it is about gaining Christ. It is about being reconciled to God, becoming a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and living a life that brings glory to Him. May you find peace, joy, and purpose in following Jesus, for He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you.
