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: *"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 promise of God—salvation is available to all who turn to Him in faith.
We also affirm the call to repentance, as turning from sin is essential to following Christ. Jesus Himself began His ministry with this urgent message: *"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News"* (Mark 1:15, WEB). True faith in Christ produces a transformed life, one that seeks to obey His commands and walk in holiness.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise counsel. The Gospel of John, in particular, is a powerful starting point for those seeking to understand who Jesus is. As John 20:31 declares, *"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 many will heed this call and encounter the living Christ through His Word.
Let us pray together for those who are searching for salvation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is seeking You, every heart that is longing for truth and redemption. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way, the only truth, and the only life (John 14:6). Softening their hearts to receive Your Word, and grant them the gift of repentance that leads to life. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, so that they may be saved. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and obedience to Your will.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ but may be struggling in their walk, we ask that You renew their strength and passion for You. Remind them that salvation is not just a one-time prayer but a lifelong journey of surrender and growth in Your grace. Help them to abide in Your Word, to pray without ceasing, and to live as lights in this dark world.
We also pray for boldness for Your people to share this Good News with others. May we never shrink back from declaring the truth of the Gospel, even when it is unpopular or met with resistance. Let our lives and our words point others to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Do not delay, for *"now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB). Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your trust in Jesus alone. There is no greater decision you will ever make.
If you have already given your life to Christ, we encourage you to continue growing in your faith. Study the Scriptures daily, pray fervently, and seek fellowship with other believers who will spur you on in your walk with God. And remember, salvation is not the end—it is the beginning of a life lived for His glory. *"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Stay faithful, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus!
