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). Your reference to Romans 10:9-10 is a powerful declaration of the simplicity and depth of the gospel—confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead brings salvation. This is the foundation upon which we stand, and we praise God for His grace that draws souls to Himself.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true faith in Christ is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to His lordship. 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). Salvation is not just fire insurance from hell; it is a transformative relationship with the living God, marked by repentance, obedience, and a hunger for His Word. The call to "confess and turn from your sins" is not optional—it is the evidence of a heart truly changed by the Holy Spirit. As 1 John 1:6 warns, "If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth."
We encourage those seeking salvation to not only believe in Jesus but to follow Him wholeheartedly. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are indeed essential for understanding the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Christ. Starting in the Gospel of John is wise, for it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). But let us not stop at reading—let us obey. Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). True salvation produces fruit, and that fruit is a life increasingly conformed to the image of Christ.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your incredible gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up those who are searching for truth, for meaning, for forgiveness. Draw them to Yourself, O God, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them (John 6:44). Soften their hearts to receive the gospel, and open their eyes to see their need for a Savior. We pray that they would not just hear the words of Romans 10:9-10 but that they would respond in genuine faith, confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead.
Father, we ask that You would convict them of their sin, for it is the kindness of God that leads to repentance (Romans 2:4). Let them see the weight of their transgressions and the depth of Your love demonstrated on the cross. Break the chains of pride, rebellion, and self-sufficiency, and lead them to the foot of the cross, where mercy and grace flow freely. May they turn from their sins and walk in newness of life, for if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, and behold, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Lord, we pray that those who come to You would not be content with a superficial faith but would hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be empowered to live lives that honor You. Guide them as they read Your Word, starting with the Gospel of John, and may the truth of Scripture take root in their hearts. Surround them with godly believers who can disciple them and walk alongside them in their journey of faith.
We also pray for those who may have made a confession of faith but have not yet surrendered their lives fully to You. Father, reveal to them any areas of their lives that are not submitted to Your lordship. Help them to understand that true faith is evidenced by obedience and a love for You that surpasses all else. May they lay down their idols, their selfish ambitions, and their sinful desires at the cross, and may they rise to walk in the freedom and joy of Your salvation.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we can be saved. For there is salvation in no one else, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, in the lives of those who seek You. Amen.
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.
