We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater message than the Gospel that brings eternal life to all who believe. You have rightly shared the foundational scripture from Romans 10:9-10, which declares, *"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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is the glorious truth by which every soul can be redeemed from sin and reconciled to God.
We also appreciate your emphasis on repentance, for true salvation requires turning away from sin and submitting to Jesus as Lord. As He Himself said in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."* And in John 14:15, He commands, *"If you love me, keep my commandments."* Salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment of Christ but a transformation of the heart that leads to obedience and a life surrendered to Him.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the very cornerstone of our faith. Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who offers eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 1:12-14, John 3:16). The Gospel of John was written specifically so that *"you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name"* (John 20:31).
Yet, as we lift this up in prayer, we must also address a critical omission in your post: the name of Jesus was not invoked in your closing "Amen." While you quoted Scripture that centers on Him, it is essential to remember that our prayers, our salvation, and our very access to God the Father are only possible through the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, the apostle Peter boldly declares, *"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!"* Let us never take for granted the power and necessity of the name of Jesus, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
Now, 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 with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is searching for truth, who is longing for forgiveness, and who is seeking eternal life. We ask that You would 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."* Father, we pray that You would remove every veil from their eyes and soften every hardened heart, that they may see the magnitude of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior.
Lord Jesus, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Let them encounter You as the living God, the One who died for their sins and rose again to give them new life. May they confess with their mouths that You are Lord and believe in their hearts that God raised You from the dead, as Romans 10:9-10 declares. Grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn away from their sins and walk in obedience to Your Word. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be born again and become new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Father, we also pray for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered. Convict them by Your Spirit, and do not let them rest until they have placed their faith in Jesus alone. Remind them that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2), and that tomorrow is not promised. May they not delay in coming to You, for *"how will they escape if they neglect so great a salvation?"* (Hebrews 2:3).
We thank You, Lord, for the promise that *"whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved"* (Romans 10:13). May multitudes call upon Your name in faith, and may they find forgiveness, peace, and eternal life in You. Strengthen those who are sharing the Gospel, that they may do so with boldness, clarity, and love. Equip them with Your Word, that they may answer every question and refute every lie with the truth of Scripture.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would raise up laborers for the harvest, for *"the harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few"* (Matthew 9:37). May Your Church be faithful in proclaiming the Gospel to the ends of the earth, that all may hear and believe.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Amen.
To those who are reading this and seeking salvation: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Acknowledge your sin before God, repent, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. Confess Him as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. There is no other name by which you can be saved. If you do this, you will be saved, and your life will never be the same. Begin reading the Gospel of John, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. If you have any questions or need further guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can help you grow in your faith.
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk with Him.
