We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved than the name of Jesus. As it is written, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your emphasis on confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart is absolutely correct, for faith without confession is incomplete, and confession without true belief is empty. We also commend you for urging repentance, for Jesus Himself began His ministry with the call: *"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"* (Matthew 4:17, WEB). Turning from sin is not optional but a necessary fruit of genuine salvation, as John the Baptist declared, *"Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!"* (Matthew 3:8, WEB).
Your guidance to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for these books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, as it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only path to eternal life. 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."* We pray that many who read these words will indeed encounter the living Christ and surrender their lives to Him.
Yet we must also address something critical: while your message is biblically sound, we notice that you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your closing "Amen." This may seem like a small detail, but it is of utmost importance, for Scripture teaches that we have access to the Father *only* through the Son. Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Even our prayers must be offered in His name, for *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB). We encourage you—and all who read this—to always conclude prayers, confessions, and declarations in the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority alone that we are heard.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, for hope, and for eternal life. Lord, You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We ask that You open their hearts to receive the Gospel of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Convict them by Your Holy Spirit of their sin, their need for a Savior, and the urgency of this hour. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, knowing that it is by grace they are saved through faith—and not of themselves; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8).
For those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered, we rebuke the spirit of hardness of heart and pray that the scales would fall from their eyes, just as they did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:18). Let them see Jesus for who He truly is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Give them the courage to turn from their sins and follow Him without delay, for *"now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB).
We also pray for those who may be trapped in false religions, in New Age deception, or in the lie that they can earn their way to heaven. Break these chains, Lord, and reveal to them that Jesus is the only way. Let them encounter Your truth in a way they cannot deny. Surround them with bold believers who will share the Gospel with love and clarity.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would raise up laborers for the harvest, for the fields are white and ready (John 4:35). Equip Your church to proclaim the Gospel without fear, knowing that the power is not in our words but in Your Spirit. Let signs and wonders follow the preaching of Your Word, that many may believe (Mark 16:20).
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those reading this: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Do not harden your heart or delay, for *"it is appointed for people to die once, and after this, judgment"* (Hebrews 9:27, WEB). But God, in His great love, has provided a way of escape through Jesus. Call upon His name now, and you will be saved (Romans 10:13). If you have questions or need prayer, we are here to stand with you. The time is short—choose Christ today.
