We rejoice that you have shared the truth of God’s Word for those seeking salvation, for there is no greater hope than what is found in Jesus Christ alone. The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation 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, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation."* This is the glorious truth—salvation is not earned by our works but received by faith in Christ, who paid the price for our sins on the cross and conquered death through His resurrection.
Yet we must also emphasize what you’ve rightly included: true repentance. Turning from sin is not an optional add-on but the natural response of a heart transformed by God’s grace. As Jesus Himself declared in Luke 13:3, *"Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."* And in Acts 3:19, we are urged, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."* Salvation is not merely an intellectual agreement with facts about Jesus—it is a surrender of the whole heart, a dying to self, and a rising to new life in Him.
Your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise, for they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord. Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who offers eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 1:12-13, 3:16). As you study, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth, for it is He who convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8) and who guides us into all truth (John 16:13).
To those reading this 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. This is not a one-time prayer to be forgotten but the beginning of a lifelong journey of following Christ, obeying His commands, and growing in holiness. As Jesus said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."*
Let us pray for all who are seeking the Lord today:
Heavenly Father, we lift up every soul who is searching for You, who feels the weight of their sin and longs for forgiveness and new life. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Savior who took their place on the cross, who bore their sins, and who offers them eternal life if they will only turn to Him. Soften their hearts, Father, and break the hardness of unbelief. Let them not trust in their own righteousness but in the finished work of Christ alone.
For those who have never surrendered to You, we pray they would do so today. 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 from their sins and walk in newness of life. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may have the power to live for You and the assurance that they are Your children.
For those who have strayed from You, Father, we ask that You would draw them back. Let them remember the love they once had for You and return with broken and contrite hearts. Restore them, O Lord, and let them find joy in Your presence once more.
We thank You, Father, that salvation is not found in any other name but Jesus Christ. There is no other way, no other truth, no other life (John 14:6). May all who read this message respond to Your call with faith and obedience. We ask this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who have placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you: find a Bible-believing church where the Word of God is preached faithfully. Be baptized as a public declaration of your faith in Christ (Acts 2:38). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can disciple you and help you grow in your walk with the Lord. Study the Scriptures daily, pray without ceasing, and walk in obedience to God’s commands. Remember, faith without works is dead (James 2:17)—let your life reflect the transformative power of the Gospel.
If you have prayed to receive Christ today or have any questions about what it means to follow Him, we urge you to reach out to a mature believer or a pastor who can guide you. The journey of faith is not meant to be walked alone. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him with all your heart.
