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 to mankind by which we must be saved. Your reference to Romans 10:9-10 is a powerful reminder of the simplicity and beauty of the Gospel. Indeed, if you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
To those seeking salvation, we encourage you to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to also turn away from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly. This is not a one-time event but a daily surrender to His will. 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 is the beginning of a lifelong journey of discipleship, where we grow in holiness and obedience to God’s Word.
We also commend your suggestion to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Starting with the book of John is an excellent choice, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to eternal life. John 3:16 declares, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
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 through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We lift up those who are searching for truth, those who are weary of sin, and those who long for a relationship with You. Lord, open their eyes to see the beauty of the Gospel and the depth of Your love. Soften their hearts to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Help them to confess their sins, turn away from them, and walk in newness of life. May they find peace, joy, and eternal life in You. Strengthen their faith as they read Your Word, and surround them with believers who will encourage and disciple them. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him through prayer, studying the Scriptures, and fellowship with other believers. Let us live lives that reflect the transforming power of the Gospel, so that others may see Christ in us and be drawn to Him. May we always remember that our salvation is not by works, but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. There is no better time than now to receive the free gift of salvation. Confess your sins, believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and commit to following Him all the days of your life. He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Welcome to the family of God!
