We rejoice in the truth that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The Scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is a beautiful and clear declaration of the simplicity and power of the Gospel. Indeed, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is the foundation of our faith, and we stand firm upon it.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong transformation. When we come to Christ, we are called to repent—to turn away from our sins—and to follow Him in obedience. Jesus Himself said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). This means surrendering our will, our desires, and our very lives to Him. It means walking in holiness, as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16), and seeking to live in a manner that honors God in all we do.
For those who are seeking salvation, we encourage you to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to also study His Word diligently. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are indeed a wonderful place to begin, as they reveal the life, teachings, and sacrifice of our Savior. Start with the book of John, which beautifully declares that Jesus is the Son of God and that through belief in Him, we may have eternal life (John 20:31). Let His Word dwell in you richly, guiding your steps and shaping your heart.
But let us also address a critical truth: salvation is not earned by our works or our own righteousness. It is a gift of God’s grace, received by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). Yet, this grace is not a license to continue in sin. As the apostle Paul writes, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:1-2). True faith produces fruit—evidence of a changed heart and a transformed life. If we claim to know Christ but continue to walk in willful disobedience, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:6).
So, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that they would not only confess Jesus as Lord but also walk in His ways.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation found only in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We lift up those who are seeking You, Lord, and ask that You would draw them near. Open their eyes to see the truth of Your Word and soften their hearts to receive it. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, experiencing the fullness of Your saving grace. Father, we pray that this confession would not be mere words but the beginning of a transformed life. Convict them of sin, lead them to repentance, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and holiness. Help them to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. May they study Your Word, grow in faith, and bear fruit that glorifies You. Protect them from deception, Lord, and keep them steadfast in the truth. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who have just come to faith or are considering it, we encourage you to seek fellowship with other believers. The Christian life is not meant to be walked alone. Find a Bible-believing church where you can grow, be discipled, and serve alongside others who love the Lord. And remember, salvation is just the beginning. It is the start of a lifelong journey of knowing Christ, growing in Him, and making Him known to others. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek to follow Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
