We rejoice with you 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 (Acts 4:12). Your reference to Romans 10:9-10 is a beautiful and essential declaration of the gospel—confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead is the very foundation of our faith. This is not merely intellectual assent but a transformation of the heart, a surrender to the Lordship of Christ, and a turning away from sin.
We must also emphasize that true repentance involves not only confessing sin but turning away from it. Jesus Himself said, "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). Repentance is a daily walk, a continuous alignment of our hearts with God’s will. It is not enough to simply acknowledge Jesus as Savior; we must also submit to Him as Lord, obeying His commands and following His example. 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 read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned, for they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Start with the book of John, which beautifully declares, "But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31). The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). It is through Scripture that we come to know Christ and grow in our relationship with Him.
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, for meaning, for forgiveness, and for eternal life. Lord, open their eyes to see the beauty of the gospel, the depth of Your love, and the reality of their need for a Savior. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and to respond in faith. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Father, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to You unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).
Lord, we pray that those who are seeking salvation would not only hear the gospel but also respond in repentance and faith. Convict them of their sin, not to shame them, but to lead them to the foot of the cross, where Your grace and mercy abound. Help them to turn away from their sins and to walk in newness of life, for if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, and behold, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). May they find true freedom, peace, and joy in You.
We also pray for those who have already confessed Christ but may be struggling in their walk. Father, strengthen their faith, deepen their repentance, and help them to live lives that are pleasing to You. May they be rooted and grounded in Your Word, growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). Let them not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of their minds, so that they may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
Lord, we ask that You would raise up laborers for the harvest, for the fields are white for harvest, but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37-38). Equip us to share the gospel boldly and compassionately, that others may come to know You. May Your Holy Spirit empower us to be witnesses of Your love and truth in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to You, our Heavenly Father. May Your name be glorified in all the earth, and may Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
