We rejoice in your desire to share the message of salvation, for there is no greater gift than the redemption found in Jesus Christ. You have rightly pointed to Romans 10:9-10, which declares, *"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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."* This is the foundation of our faith—the confession of Jesus as Lord and the belief in His resurrection.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong surrender to Christ. As Jesus 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."* Salvation requires repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. Without this, our faith is empty. James 2:19 reminds us, *"You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder."* True belief transforms the heart and produces obedience.
For those seeking salvation, we urge you to examine your heart. Have you truly repented of your sins? Have you surrendered your life to Christ, not just in word but in deed? If you have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord or if you have been living in unrepentant sin, we pray with you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved. We lift up those who are searching for salvation, those who may have spoken words without true belief, and those who have not yet turned from their sins. Lord, we ask that You would soften their hearts, open their eyes to the truth of Your Word, and draw them to Yourself. May they truly confess Jesus as Lord, believe in His resurrection, and turn from their sins to follow Him. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit worthy of repentance. We pray for a genuine transformation in their lives, that they may be born again and live for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
To those who have already confessed Christ, we encourage you to continue growing in your faith. Study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned, for they reveal the life, teachings, and sacrifice of our Savior. But do not stop there. The entire Bible is God’s inspired Word, and it is essential for your spiritual growth. As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us, *"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."*
If you have not yet been baptized, we urge you to take this step of obedience as a public declaration of your faith. Jesus commanded it in Matthew 28:19, *"Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."* Baptism is an outward sign of the inward change that has taken place in your heart.
Finally, we must address a critical truth: salvation is found in no other name but Jesus. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you are placing your hope in anything or anyone else—whether it be good works, religious rituals, or false gods—we urge you to turn to Christ alone. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
We pray that you would not only seek salvation but also walk in it daily, growing in holiness and obedience to God’s Word. May your life be a testament to the transforming power of the Gospel, and may you share this hope with others. Let us press on together, encouraging one another in the faith, as we await the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
