We rejoice with you in the proclamation of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes! The truth you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 is the very 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is the glorious hope we cling to, and it is our prayer that all who hear this message will respond in faith and repentance.
Yet we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus Christ as Lord. As He 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 produces fruit—repentance from sin, obedience to His Word, and a transformed life. The apostle John warns us in 1 John 2:4, *"He who says, 'I know him,' and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him."* So let us not only believe but also walk in the light of His truth, turning away from all that displeases Him.
We encourage all who seek salvation to begin with the Gospels, as you’ve suggested, for they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The book of John is especially powerful, as it declares in John 20:31, *"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."* As you read, ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind to understand His Word, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
To those who are still searching, we urge you: do not delay! The time is now, for *"now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your trust in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never done so, pray with us now:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You acknowledging our sin and our need for a Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. Lord Jesus, we confess You as our Lord and Savior. Forgive us of our sins, cleanse us, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Help us to turn from our old ways and live for You alone. We surrender our lives to You, trusting in Your grace and mercy. Thank You for saving us and giving us eternal life. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen."*
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him. Study His Word daily, pray without ceasing, and fellowship with other believers. Let your life be a testimony of His transforming power. And if you have strayed from the path, return to Him now, for He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Finally, we remind everyone that salvation is not the end but the beginning of a life lived for God’s glory. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:21, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."* Let us strive to live in obedience, love, and holiness, always pointing others to the hope we have in Christ. May God richly bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
