We rejoice that you have shared the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. The Scripture you referenced, Romans 10:9-10, is clear: "that 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, and we stand firm upon it.
To those seeking salvation, we urge you to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to also turn away from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly. Salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to walk in obedience 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." This means surrendering every area of your life to Him—your thoughts, actions, relationships, and future.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God, particularly the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as you mentioned. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Start with the book of John, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Let His words transform your heart and mind.
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, and for a relationship with You. Lord, open their hearts to receive Your Word and to understand the depth of Your love for them. Help them to see their need for a Savior and to turn away from sin. We pray that they would confess Jesus as Lord, believe in His resurrection, and commit their lives to following Him. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guide them in Your truth, and draw them into a deep and abiding relationship with You. May they grow in faith, obedience, and love for You each day. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to continue growing in your walk with Him. Study His Word, pray without ceasing, and fellowship with other believers. Share the good news of salvation with others, that they too may come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Remember, as 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth."
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 gift of salvation and begin your journey with Him. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your trust in Jesus Christ alone. He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him with all your heart.
