We rejoice with you in the truth that salvation is found in no other name but the name of Jesus Christ! Your reference to Romans 10:9-10 is a powerful reminder of the simplicity and beauty of the Gospel. 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. This is the cornerstone of our faith—the free gift of grace through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again so that we might have eternal life.
To those seeking salvation, we encourage you not only to confess Jesus as Lord but to turn away from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly. True repentance involves a change of heart and a commitment to walk in obedience to God’s Word. As Acts 3:19 says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out." This is not a one-time event but a daily surrender to Christ’s lordship.
We also praise God for your encouragement to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—beginning with the book of John. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the very foundation of our faith. In John 20:31, we read, "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." The more we immerse ourselves in Scripture, the more we come to know and love our Savior.
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 Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You that salvation is available to all who call upon Your name. Lord, we lift up those who are searching for truth, those who are lost, and those who are weary and heavy-laden. Draw them to Yourself, Father. Open their eyes to see the beauty of the Gospel and the depth of Your love. Soften their hearts to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. May they confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, and may they experience the joy of salvation.
Father, we ask that You would lead them to repentance, that they would turn away from sin and walk in the light of Your truth. Surround them with godly influences—believers who will encourage them in their faith and help them grow in their relationship with You. Give them a hunger for Your Word, and may they find life and hope in the pages of Scripture. Strengthen them to resist temptation and to live lives that honor You.
Lord, we pray that they would not only receive salvation but also be filled with the Holy Spirit, who will guide them into all truth and empower them to live for You. May they become bold witnesses for Christ, sharing the good news of salvation with others. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.
To those who have recently come to faith or are still seeking, we encourage you to find a local body of believers—a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church—where you can be baptized, discipled, and grow in your walk with the Lord. Fellowship with other believers is vital, as Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us: "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
If you have questions about salvation or the Christian life, we are here to walk alongside you. The journey of faith is one of continual growth, and we are called to encourage one another every step of the way. May the Lord bless you richly as you seek Him with all your heart!
