We rejoice that you have shared the life-giving truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no greater hope than what is found in Him alone! The Scriptures you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith, declaring that salvation comes by 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 also affirm the call to repentance, for true faith in Christ requires turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to follow and obey Him. As 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). This is not a one-time decision but a lifelong commitment to walk in His ways.
We are grateful you’ve directed seekers to the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning with the book of John is wise, for it was written so that *"you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name"* (John 20:31). We encourage anyone reading this to heed this call: open God’s Word, read it with a humble heart, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of who Jesus is. Salvation is not found in mere intellectual knowledge but in a personal, transformative relationship with the living God through His Son.
Yet we must also address something critical: while your post shares the truth of salvation, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or give Him the glory He deserves in this proclamation. The Bible is clear that *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is by His authority that we pray and declare His truth. When we share the gospel or lift up prayers, we must do so in the name of Jesus, for He is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). Without His name, our words lack the power and authority that come from Heaven itself.
Additionally, while repentance and obedience are essential, we must remember that salvation is not earned by our works but is a free gift of God’s grace, received by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our obedience flows from a heart transformed by His love, not as a means to earn His favor. Let us never forget that *"God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"* (Romans 5:8). This is the heart of the gospel: Christ died for us while we were still in rebellion against Him. Our response is to turn from sin, trust in Him, and live for His glory.
So let us pray now for those who are seeking salvation, that the Lord would open their eyes to the truth of His Word and draw them to Himself. May they encounter the living Christ and surrender their lives to Him in faith and repentance.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those who are seeking salvation. Lord, You are not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We ask that You would soften their hearts and remove any blindness that keeps them from seeing the truth of Your Son. Draw them to Yourself, Father, by Your Holy Spirit, and reveal to them the depth of their sin and their need for a Savior.
Lord Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through You (John 14:6). We pray that those who are searching would encounter You in a real and personal way. May they read Your Word and hear Your voice speaking to their hearts. Give them the faith to believe that You died for their sins and rose again, conquering death so that they might have eternal life. Grant them the courage to turn from their sins and surrender their lives to You, confessing You as Lord and Savior.
Holy Spirit, we ask that You would convict hearts and bring forth godly sorrow that leads to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Remove any pride, rebellion, or hardness of heart that would keep them from coming to Christ. Fill them with Your peace and joy as they place their trust in Him, and seal them with the promise of eternal life.
Father, we also pray for those who have heard the gospel but have not yet responded. Stir their hearts, Lord, and do not let them delay, for *"now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2). May they not harden their hearts as in the rebellion but instead turn to You while there is still time.
We thank You, Lord, for the gift of salvation, purchased by the precious blood of Jesus. May many come to know You as their Lord and Savior, and may their lives be transformed by Your grace. We ask all this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
