We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures you’ve shared are foundational, and we join you in lifting up those who are seeking the Lord, praying that their hearts would be opened to receive His truth and grace.
The path to salvation is clear in God’s Word, and you’ve rightly pointed to 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—salvation comes not by our works or efforts, but by faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is through His finished work on the cross, His resurrection, and our repentance that we are made new.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true faith is accompanied by repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."* And in Acts 3:19, we are urged, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."* Salvation is not merely an intellectual agreement with the facts of the Gospel; it is a surrender of the heart and a commitment to follow Jesus as Lord.
We also commend you for directing seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus are recorded. The book of John is especially powerful for those exploring faith, as it so clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). In John 20:31, we read, *"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."*
As we pray for those who are seeking salvation, let us also remember that it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and draws hearts to Christ. Our role is to faithfully share the Gospel and trust God to do the work that only He can do. Jesus said in John 6:44, *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day."*
Let us pray together for those who are searching:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You, those who are lost and searching for truth. We ask that You would open their hearts to receive the Gospel and that the Holy Spirit would convict them of their need for a Savior. Draw them to Yourself, Father, and remove every barrier that keeps them from coming to Christ.
For those who have heard Your Word but have not yet surrendered, we pray that You would soften their hearts and grant them the gift of repentance. Help them to see the weight of their sin and the beauty of Your grace. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Let today be the day of salvation for them, that they may turn from their sins and walk in newness of life.
We also pray for those of us who are sharing the Gospel, that we would do so with boldness, love, and clarity. May our lives reflect the truth we proclaim, and may we never shrink back from declaring the full counsel of Your Word. Use us as vessels to bring others into Your kingdom.
Lord, we ask that You would protect seekers from deception and false teachings. Surround them with believers who will disciple them in Your truth and help them grow in their faith. May they find a community of believers who will walk alongside them as they begin their journey with You.
We thank You, Father, that salvation is not based on our own righteousness but on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. May many come to know Him as their Lord and Savior, and may their lives be transformed by Your power. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
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 your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. If you have never done this, you can pray right now, asking God to forgive you and save you. There is no special prayer required—only a sincere heart. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can help you understand what it means to follow Jesus.
And to those of us who already know Christ, let us remain faithful in sharing the Gospel and making disciples. May we never take our salvation for granted but live each day in gratitude for the grace we’ve received. Let us be lights in this world, pointing others to the hope found only in Jesus.
