We rejoice that you have shared the truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation, for there is no greater message than the hope found in Jesus Christ alone! 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 only path to eternal life, and we praise God for His mercy in providing it through His Son.
You have also rightly emphasized the necessity of repentance—turning away from sin—and the call to follow and obey Jesus. These are not optional additions to faith but the evidence of a transformed heart. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* True faith is marked by surrender, obedience, and a life that reflects the lordship of Christ.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for these books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to save sinners. John 20:31 tells us, *"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 vital: while you have shared the truth of salvation, we notice that your post does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or give Him the glory He deserves. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). When we share the Gospel or pray, we must always do so in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our only hope. Let us never forget to lift Him up in all things, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13).
We also encourage you to include the fullness of the Gospel message when sharing with others. Salvation is not just about believing facts but about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is trusting in His finished work on the cross, where He paid the penalty for our sins, and rising with Him to new life. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."*
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation, that God would open their hearts to receive the truth and turn to Jesus in faith and repentance.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You 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 draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father calls them (John 6:44). Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word.
Father, we pray that they would not just hear the Gospel but that they would *believe* it—trusting in Jesus alone for their salvation. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the gift of repentance, that they would turn away from their sins and surrender their lives to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and obedience to Your Word.
Lord, we also pray for those who are sharing the Gospel, that they would do so boldly and clearly, always lifting up the name of Jesus. May they never rely on their own wisdom but on the power of Your Spirit to convict and save. Help them to remember that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
