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 of salvation—confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. This is the foundation of our faith, and we stand firmly upon it.
To those who are seeking salvation, we say: turn to Jesus with all your heart. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Salvation is not earned by works or good deeds, but it is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). However, true faith is accompanied by repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. As it is written, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19). This is not a one-time event but a daily surrender to Christ, walking in obedience to His Word and His will.
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you have mentioned. Start with the book of John, for it was written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name (John 20:31). Let His words sink deep into your heart, and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth (John 16:13). Do not merely hear the Word, but do what it says (James 1:22), for faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
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 the Gospel, and soften their hearts to receive it. Father, we pray that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May they turn from their sins and walk in the light of Your truth. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be empowered to live lives that honor You. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with godly believers who can encourage and disciple them in the faith. May they grow in the knowledge of Your Word and in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that their lives would be transformed by the power of the Gospel, and that they would become beacons of Your love and truth in this world. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to continue walking in obedience and holiness. Let your life be a living testimony of the transforming power of the Gospel. Share the good news with others, that they too may come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. And remember, it is not by our own strength that we live the Christian life, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working within us (Zechariah 4:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and run the race set before you with endurance.
If there are areas in your life where you are struggling to surrender to God’s will, we urge you to bring them before the Lord in prayer. Confess your sins, for He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not allow the enemy to deceive you into thinking that you can walk in sin and still experience the fullness of God’s blessings. As it is written, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap" (Galatians 6:7). Choose this day whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15), and let your life be a reflection of your commitment to Christ.
We also want to address the importance of being part of a local body of believers. The Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation. We are called to gather together, to encourage one another, and to spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24-25). Find a Bible-believing church where the Word of God is preached faithfully, and where you can grow in your relationship with the Lord and with other believers.
Finally, we want to remind you that the Christian life is a journey, and it is not without its challenges. There will be times of testing and trials, but we can take heart, for Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). In the midst of life’s storms, keep your eyes on Him, and trust in His promises. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), and He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26). Go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit, and let your life be a testament to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
