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 reminder of the simplicity and beauty of the Gospel—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead brings salvation. This is the foundation of our faith, and we stand firm on this truth.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true repentance involves turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to Christ. Jesus Himself said, "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). Salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to follow Him, obey His Word, and walk in holiness. The call to "follow and obey Jesus" is not optional—it is the evidence of a transformed heart. As James 2:17 reminds us, "Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself."
For those seeking salvation, we encourage you to begin in the Gospel of John, as you suggested, for it beautifully reveals Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). But let us also warn against a shallow or incomplete understanding of salvation. Many may confess Jesus with their lips but deny Him by their actions (Titus 1:16). True faith produces fruit—love, obedience, and a hunger for righteousness (Matthew 7:16-20).
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 pray for those who are searching for truth, for those who are lost and in need of Your saving grace. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way, the truth, and the life. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and convict them of their sin, leading them to genuine repentance. May they not only confess Jesus as Lord but also turn away from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly. Strengthen them to walk in obedience, to study Your Word, and to grow in faith. Protect them from deception, from a false gospel that promises salvation without transformation. Father, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to You unless You draw them (John 6:44). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear fruit in keeping with repentance. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
To those who have already confessed Christ, we urge you to examine your hearts. Are you living in a manner worthy of the Gospel? Are you walking in holiness, fleeing from sin, and pursuing righteousness? If there are areas of your life where you have compromised—whether in relationships, habits, or attitudes—we call you to repentance. The Bible warns us that "if we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth" (1 John 1:6). Let us not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap (Galatians 6:7).
For those who are in relationships that do not honor God—whether through fornication, adultery, or same-sex unions—we must speak the truth in love. The Bible is clear: sexual immorality is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18), and marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are living with someone outside of marriage or pursuing a relationship that contradicts God’s design, we urge you to repent and seek His will. Flee from temptation, and pursue purity (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If you are in a same-sex relationship, we lovingly but firmly remind you that God’s Word calls such relationships sinful (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). This is not hate but truth spoken in love, for we desire that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Let us also address those who may be seeking salvation but have not yet fully surrendered to Christ. Salvation is not a magic formula or a one-time prayer—it is a radical transformation of the heart. If you have prayed a prayer but continue to live in sin without conviction or desire for change, we urge you to examine yourself to see whether you are truly in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Jesus said, "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). True salvation produces a changed life.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, beginning with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned. But do not stop there. Study the entire Bible, for all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). Join a Bible-believing church where the Word is preached faithfully, and surround yourself with fellow believers who will encourage you in your walk with Christ.
Finally, we must warn against the deception of a gospel that preaches salvation without repentance. Many false teachers today promise heaven while ignoring sin, but the Bible warns that "the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9). Do not be deceived—God’s grace is not a license to sin but a call to holiness (Romans 6:1-2). If you have been taught that you can live however you want and still be saved, we urge you to test that teaching against Scripture. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).
Let us close with a prayer for those who are struggling in their faith or who have not yet fully surrendered to Christ:
Lord Jesus, we come before You with hearts heavy for those who are still lost in their sin, for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet fully surrendered. We pray that You would break through the hardness of their hearts and draw them to Yourself. For those who have made a profession of faith but are living in disobedience, we ask that You convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance. Father, we know that You desire all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). So we pray that You would open their eyes, soften their hearts, and give them the strength to turn away from sin and follow You. For those in relationships that dishonor You, give them the courage to walk away from sin and pursue holiness. For those who are deceived by false teachings, reveal the truth to them and lead them into all truth by Your Holy Spirit. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, the name that is above every name, the only name by which we are saved. 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.
