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 (Acts 4:12). 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. Jesus Himself said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23). This means surrendering your life to Him, obeying His commands, and living in a way that honors God. The book of John is an excellent place to start, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to eternal life (John 14:6).
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 seeking You, that they may come to know the truth of the Gospel. Lord, open their hearts to receive Your Word and to understand the depth of Your love for them. Help them to confess Jesus as Lord, to believe in His resurrection, and to turn away from their sins. May they find true repentance and the joy of forgiveness in You. Guide them as they begin to read and study Your Word, starting with the book of John, so that they may grow in their faith and walk closely with You. Strengthen them to take up their cross daily and follow Jesus, living lives that bring glory to Your name. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
To those who have recently found salvation or are still seeking, we encourage you to get connected with a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized, grow in your faith, and be discipled. As Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
Remember, salvation is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. Continue to seek God through prayer, reading His Word, and obeying His commands. As Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15). May you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
