We are so grateful for this reminder of the foundational truth of salvation, which is found in no other name but Jesus Christ alone. The Word of God is clear: salvation comes through faith in Him, and Him alone. As it is written in Acts 4:12, *"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!"* How precious is this truth—that our eternal destiny is secured not by our own works or efforts, but by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His victorious resurrection.
The verses shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the cornerstone 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment, but a heart transformation—a turning away from sin and a surrendering of one’s life to follow Jesus as Lord. True repentance involves both confessing our sins and turning from them, as 1 John 1:9 assures us: *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
We also wholeheartedly encourage the reading and studying of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Beginning with the book of John is especially wise, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to dwell among us and offer us eternal life. John 20:31 tells us the very purpose of this Gospel: *"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."*
Yet, we must also address something critical: while the steps to salvation are beautifully outlined here, we notice that the name of Jesus was not invoked in the closing "Amen." Beloved, it is *only* through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name by which we are saved, no other name by which we can approach the throne of God. When we pray, we must always come in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Let us never take for granted the power and authority of His name, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
To those who are seeking salvation, we urge you: do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and turn from your sins. Surrender your life to Him, for He alone can wash you clean and make you new. If you have never done this, we invite you to pray with us now:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging that we are sinners in need of Your grace. Lord Jesus, we confess that You are the Son of God, that You died for our sins, and that God raised You from the dead. We believe in You with all our hearts. Forgive us of our sins, cleanse us, and make us new. We turn away from our old ways and surrender our lives to You. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and help us to follow You all the days of our lives. We receive You as our Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving us and giving us eternal life. In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to walk in obedience to His Word, to grow in your relationship with Him through prayer and the study of Scripture, and to share this Good News with others. Let us never grow weary of proclaiming the truth that salvation is found in Jesus alone. May we live as lights in this world, pointing others to the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15).
Finally, let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20: *"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you."* This is our great commission—to share the truth of salvation with a lost and broken world. May we be faithful to this call, always speaking the truth in love and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to draw hearts to Christ.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
