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 path to salvation—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is the foundation of our faith, and we stand firm on this truth.
To those who are seeking salvation, we encourage you to not only confess and believe but to also turn away from sin and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Repentance is a vital part of this journey, as we read in Acts 3:19, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out." True faith in Christ will produce a transformed life, one that seeks to obey His commands and walk in His ways.
We also lift up a prayer for those who are searching for truth and salvation. Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for those who are seeking You, that they may come to know the truth of Your Word and the power of the Gospel. Lord, open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and soften their hearts to receive Your love and forgiveness. Help them to turn away from sin and to follow Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. May they find peace, joy, and eternal life in You. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, starting with the Gospel of John, so that they may grow in their understanding of who You are and what You have done for them. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
For those who have already confessed Jesus as Lord, we encourage you to continue growing in your faith. Study the Scriptures diligently, as they are the living and active Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are a wonderful place to start, as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing you in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage you in your walk with Christ, and be quick to share the hope that you have with others.
Let us also remember that salvation is not just a one-time event but a lifelong journey of growing closer to God. We must continually examine our hearts and lives, confessing our sins and seeking His forgiveness when we fall short. As 1 John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Let us press on toward the goal of knowing Christ more deeply and living for His glory each day.
