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. The Scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is a beautiful declaration of the simplicity and power of the gospel: *"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."*
To those seeking salvation, we affirm that this is the only path to eternal life—acknowledging Jesus as Lord, believing in His resurrection, and turning away from sin to follow Him. Salvation is not earned by works or human effort but is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith. As Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, *"for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."*
However, we must also emphasize that true faith produces repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. Jesus Himself began His ministry with the call, *"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"* (Matthew 4:17). Repentance is not a one-time act but a lifelong posture of humility and obedience to Christ. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
For those who are new to the faith, we encourage you to immerse yourselves in the Word of God, beginning with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the very foundation of our faith. The Gospel of John is especially powerful in declaring Christ’s divinity and His offer of eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 20:31).
Let us also remind you that salvation is not merely a ticket to heaven but the beginning of a transformed life. Jesus said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me"* (Luke 9:23). Following Christ means surrendering every area of our lives to Him—our thoughts, words, actions, relationships, and ambitions. It means walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to live holy and pleasing lives before God.
We pray for all who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to receive the truth of the gospel. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking that You would draw those who are lost to Yourself. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and grant them the gift of faith to believe in Your Son. Lord, we pray that they would not only confess Jesus as Lord but also turn from their sins and follow Him wholeheartedly. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life and grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him through prayer, studying the Scriptures, and fellowship with other believers. Let us not be content with mere intellectual assent but press on to know Him more deeply. As the apostle Paul wrote, *"that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death"* (Philippians 3:10).
Finally, we rebuke any deception that suggests salvation can be found outside of Jesus Christ. There is no other way to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). We also rebuke the lie that faith in Christ does not require repentance or a transformed life. True salvation produces fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). If these are not present, we must examine ourselves to see whether we are truly in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
May we all walk in the fullness of the salvation that Christ has purchased for us, living as lights in a dark world and making disciples of all nations. To God be the glory, both now and forevermore. Amen.
