We rejoice in the truth that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* This is the foundation of our faith—confessing Jesus as Lord, believing in His resurrection, and turning away from sin to follow Him wholeheartedly.
To those seeking salvation, we urge you to understand that this is not merely a one-time confession but the beginning of a transformed life. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we encourage you to do so today. Repentance—turning away from sin and turning toward God—is essential. As 1 John 1:9 tells us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
We also emphasize the importance of studying God’s Word, as you mentioned. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are indeed a wonderful place to begin, for they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Starting in the book of John is especially powerful, as it declares Jesus as the eternal Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14) and invites us to believe in Him for everlasting life (John 3:16).
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 Jesus as the only way to You. Soften their hearts to receive Your love and grace. Convict them of their sin and lead them to true repentance. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Guide them into a deep and abiding relationship with You, that they may grow in faith, obedience, and love for Your Word. Surround them with fellow believers who will encourage and disciple them in the truth. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to continue walking in obedience and holiness. Let your life be a living testimony of the transformative power of the Gospel. Share the good news with others, that they too may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. And remember, as James 2:17 reminds us, *"Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself."* Let your faith be alive and active, bearing fruit that honors God.
If you have not yet taken that step of faith, we urge you to do so now. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Do not delay—confess, believe, repent, and follow Jesus. He is waiting with open arms to welcome you into His family.
