We are so grateful for this reminder of the foundational truth of salvation, which is found in no other name but Jesus Christ! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very heart of the Gospel—the good news that brings eternal life to all who believe. It is by grace through faith in Jesus alone that we are saved, not by our own works or efforts, but by the finished work of Christ on the cross. As it is written, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB).
You’ve also rightly emphasized the importance of repentance—turning away from sin and surrendering to Jesus as Lord. True faith is not just an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformation of the heart that leads to obedience. Jesus Himself said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me"* (Matthew 16:24, WEB). This is not a one-time prayer but a lifelong commitment to walk in His ways, guided by His Word and the Holy Spirit.
We wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking salvation to start by reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you’ve suggested. The book of John is especially powerful for understanding who Jesus is and why He came. In John 14:6, Jesus declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other path, no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). This is why it is critical to call upon the name of Jesus specifically in prayer and in every aspect of our lives. He is the only mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is through His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace.
For those who may be reading this and feel the Holy Spirit stirring in their hearts, we urge you to respond today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and turn from your sins. If you’ve never done this, you can pray something like this:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. I turn away from my sins and ask You to be my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to follow You all the days of my life. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer or are seeking to deepen your walk with Christ, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, baptized, and grow in community with other believers. Study Scripture daily, pray without ceasing, and allow the Lord to transform your life. Remember, *"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17, WEB). Immerse yourself in His Word, and you will grow strong in faith.
Let us also pray for those who are still searching, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that they would encounter the living God in a powerful way.

*Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is seeking You today. Lord, soften their hearts and remove any blindness that keeps them from seeing the truth of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Draw them to Yourself, Holy Spirit, and grant them the gift of repentance and faith. May they understand the urgency of this moment—that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). We pray that they would surrender their lives to Jesus, confessing Him as Lord and believing in His resurrection. Fill them with Your peace and joy as they begin this new life in Christ.
For those who have already believed but may be struggling in their walk, we ask for renewed passion and commitment. Help them to abide in You, to study Your Word, and to walk in obedience. Strengthen them against the schemes of the enemy and surround them with godly community.
We declare that no weapon formed against the truth of Your Gospel will prosper. May Your name be glorified as lives are transformed by Your power. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.*
