We rejoice with you 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 and powerful declaration of the simplicity and depth of the Gospel. Indeed, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you *will* be saved. This is the cornerstone of our faith—the confession of Jesus as Lord and the belief in His resurrection, which justifies us before the Father.
But let us also emphasize that true salvation is not merely a one-time confession of words; it is a transformation of the heart that leads to a life surrendered to Christ. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 7:21, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."* Salvation is evidenced by a life that turns away from sin and walks in obedience to God’s Word. As 1 John 1:6 reminds us, *"If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth."* True faith produces repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God.
We also encourage you to dive deeply into 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. Start with the Gospel of John, as it so clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). As you read, ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart to understand and apply God’s Word. Let it transform you from the inside out.
For those who are seeking salvation, we pray this prayer with you and for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You that by grace through faith, we are saved—not by our own works, but by Your mercy and love. Lord, we pray for every person reading these words who is seeking You. Draw them close to Your heart, Father. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word.
We ask that You would reveal Jesus to them in a personal and powerful way. Let them confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May this confession not be empty words, but the overflow of a heart transformed by Your love. Lead them to repentance, Father, and help them turn away from sin and walk in the light of Your truth.
Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, so they may have the power to live a life that honors You. Give them a hunger for Your Word and a desire to follow You wholeheartedly. Surround them with fellow believers who will encourage and disciple them in their faith. May they grow in the knowledge and love of Christ, and may their lives bear fruit that glorifies You.
We pray all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
To those who have just surrendered their lives to Christ, we rejoice with you! Your journey has just begun, and we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, be baptized as a public declaration of your commitment to Christ, and connect with other believers who will walk alongside you. Remember, you are now a child of God, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Walk in the freedom and joy of your salvation, and let your life be a testimony to His grace.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
