We rejoice in your desire to share the message of salvation, for there is no greater gift than the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Indeed, Romans 10:9-10 declares, "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—the confession of Jesus as Lord and the belief in His resurrection.
However, we must also emphasize that true salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to following Christ. 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." Salvation involves repentance—a turning away from sin—and a surrender to God’s will. As 1 John 1:9 reminds us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
For those seeking salvation, we encourage you to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to also study His Word, beginning with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for those who are searching for truth, for those who are lost, and for those who are ready to confess Jesus as Lord. Lord, open their hearts to receive Your Word and to believe in the resurrection of Your Son. Help them to turn away from sin and to follow You wholeheartedly. May they find peace, forgiveness, and new life in Christ. Strengthen their faith as they study Your Word and grow in their relationship with You. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord and believed in His resurrection, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is not found in any other name, and there is no greater decision you can make. If you have questions or need guidance, we encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church or a fellow believer who can walk with you in your faith journey. May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart.
