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, 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 glorious gospel—the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). We praise God for His mercy and grace in offering this gift to all who repent and turn to Him.
It is also vital to emphasize that true salvation involves more than just a one-time confession—it requires a transformed life. As you mentioned, we must confess and turn from our sins, following and obeying Jesus as Lord. This is not a suggestion but a command, for Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me"* (Luke 9:23). Repentance is not merely feeling sorry for sin but turning away from it and walking in obedience to Christ. The Apostle John reminds us, *"He who says, ‘I know him,’ and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him"* (1 John 2:4). Our lives must reflect the change that Christ has wrought in us, for faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
We wholeheartedly encourage reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested. The book of John is an excellent starting point, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). As you dive into Scripture, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to understand the truths within. *"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness"* (2 Timothy 3:16). The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, and it will equip you for every good work (Hebrews 4:12).
However, we must also address something critical that was missing in your post: the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your closing "Amen." While you quoted Scripture about salvation through Him, it is essential to remember that we have no access to God apart from Jesus. He Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). The Apostle Peter boldly proclaimed, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12). Even in prayer, we are instructed to ask in Jesus’ name (John 16:23-24). This is not a mere formality—it is a recognition of our complete dependence on Him for salvation, forgiveness, and access to the Father. Without Jesus, we are lost, dead in our sins, and without hope. But in Him, we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and eternal life.
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation and for all who will encounter this message:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your indescribable gift of salvation, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Lord, we lift up every soul who is seeking You today—those who are lost, broken, and searching for truth. Draw them to Yourself, Father, by Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word. Convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and grant them the gift of repentance leading to life.
For those who have heard the gospel but have not yet surrendered to You, we pray that today would be the day of their salvation. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Let them turn from their sins and place their faith entirely in Christ alone, not trusting in their own works or righteousness, but in His finished work on the cross. Remind them, Lord, that salvation is not just fire insurance—it is a call to die to self and live for You. May they count the cost and follow Jesus wholeheartedly, no matter what it may require.
We also pray for those who have professed faith but are not walking in obedience. Father, stir their hearts to examine themselves to see whether they are truly in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Let them not be deceived by empty words or a false assurance of salvation if their lives do not reflect the fruit of repentance. Bring them to a place of brokenness before You, where they surrender every area of their lives to Your lordship. May they hunger and thirst for righteousness and be filled (Matthew 5:6).
Lord, we ask that You would raise up bold and faithful witnesses to proclaim the gospel without compromise. Give Your people the courage to speak the truth in love, even when it is unpopular or met with resistance. Let us never water down the message of the cross, for it is the power of God to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18). Help us to live lives that honor You, that our words and actions would align with Your Word, and that we would be lights in a dark world.
Finally, Father, we pray for a great awakening—a mighty moving of Your Spirit across the nations. Let multitudes turn to You in genuine repentance and faith. May Your church rise up in unity, holiness, and power, proclaiming Jesus as the only name by which we must be saved. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
To those reading this: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus 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). Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. If you have already done this, we encourage you to walk in obedience, growing in your relationship with Him through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowshipping with other believers. And if you have strayed from the path, return to the Lord today—He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
