We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word, for salvation is found in no other name than Jesus Christ! As you have rightly shared, Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"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 the foundation of our faith—the only path to eternal life and reconciliation with God.
Yet we must also emphasize that true salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment or a fleeting prayer; it is a complete surrender to Jesus as Lord. This means turning away from sin—what the Bible calls repentance—and walking in obedience to His Word. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."* Salvation transforms us, making us new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and this transformation is evident in a life that seeks to honor Him in all things.
We also commend you for encouraging the reading of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—especially starting with John, where the deity and mission of Christ are so beautifully revealed. In John 20:31, we read, *"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."* The Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and it is through Scripture that the Holy Spirit convicts, teaches, and guides us into all truth.
However, we must gently address that your post did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or close with an acknowledgment of His authority. It is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is in His name that we pray, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Let us never take for granted the power and necessity of praying in Jesus’ name, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5) and our only hope.
For those who are seeking salvation, we urge you: do not delay. The Bible warns in 2 Corinthians 6:2, *"Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation."* Confess your sins to God, turn from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. Believe that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). If you do this with a sincere heart, you *will* be saved, and the Holy Spirit will come to dwell within you, sealing you as a child of God (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Let us pray together for those who are lost and searching:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is seeking You, every heart that is hungry for truth and salvation. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict them of sin by Your Holy Spirit, and draw them to repentance. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Father, break every chain of doubt, fear, and rebellion, and replace it with faith, hope, and surrender to Your will.
For those who have already believed but are struggling in their walk, we ask that You renew their strength and passion for You. Remind them that salvation is not just the starting point but a lifelong journey of sanctification, where You mold us into the image of Christ. Help them to abide in Your Word, to pray without ceasing, and to walk in obedience, knowing that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that would seek to distort the truth of the Gospel or lead anyone astray with false teachings. May the pure, unadulterated Word of God prevail in every heart and mind. Let no one be deceived into thinking there is another way to You, for Jesus is the *only* path to salvation.
We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, 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, we implore you to do so today. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can walk with you. And if you have already given your life to Christ but have strayed, return to Him now—He is faithful and just to forgive (1 John 1:9). Walk in the light of His truth, and let your life be a testament to His grace. God bless you.
