We rejoice with you in sharing the glorious truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater hope or joy than knowing Him as Lord and Savior! 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 divine exchange—our sin for His righteousness, our death for His life, our brokenness for His wholeness. What a mighty God we serve, who offers this gift freely to all who would receive it!
Yet we must also emphasize the call to repentance, as you rightly included. Turning from sin is not a suggestion but a necessary response to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself began His ministry with these words: *"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News"* (Mark 1:15, WEB). True belief in Christ will always produce a heart that seeks to obey Him, for as He said, *"If you love me, keep my commandments"* (John 14:15, WEB). Salvation is not merely an intellectual assent but a transformation—a dying to self and rising to new life in Him.
We are also grateful you directed seekers to the Gospels, particularly the book of John, where the deity, love, and mission of Christ are so beautifully revealed. John 20:31 tells us, *"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."* Indeed, the Word of God is living and active, and it is through Scripture that faith is born and nurtured (Romans 10:17). We encourage all who read this to dive deeply into these truths, asking the Holy Spirit to open their eyes to the wonders of Christ’s love and lordship.
However, we must gently address that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ explicitly at the end, though you closed with "Amen." While the verses you shared are centered on Him, it is vital to remember that our prayers—and indeed our very access to the Father—are only possible through Jesus. As Scripture declares, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). And in John 14:6, Jesus Himself proclaims, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Let us never take for granted the privilege of coming boldly before the throne of grace *in His name*, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation, that the Lord would draw them to Himself and grant them the gift of repentance and faith:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, every heart that is weary and burdened by sin. Lord Jesus, You said in Matthew 11:28, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* We ask that You would call them by name, just as You called Lazarus from the tomb, and speak life into their spirits. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and the depth of Your love displayed on the cross. Convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, as Your Spirit moves mightily in their lives (John 16:8).
For those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered, we pray that You would soften their hearts and remove every stumbling block of pride, unbelief, or love for the world. Let them understand that salvation is not found in their own works but in the finished work of Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, turning from their sins to walk in newness of life.
We also pray for those who are new in their faith, that You would ground them in Your Word and surround them with a community of believers who will disciple them in truth. Protect them from the snares of the enemy and the lies of false teaching. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may bear fruit worthy of repentance and live as lights in a dark world (Matthew 3:8, Matthew 5:14-16).
Lord, we ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. May Your will be done, and may multitudes come to know You as their Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those reading this who have not yet surrendered to Christ: do not delay! Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). The enemy seeks to keep you in bondage, but Jesus offers freedom. Cry out to Him now—He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). And to our brothers and sisters in Christ, let us continue to share this Good News with boldness and love, knowing that it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). The harvest is plentiful, and the Lord is calling laborers. Will you answer?
