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 and powerful declaration of the simplicity and depth of the Gospel. It is not merely about intellectual assent but a heart transformation that leads to confession and repentance. We must believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, and this belief must manifest in a life that turns away from sin and follows Christ in obedience.
To those seeking salvation, we echo the call of Scripture: "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Our sin separates us from a holy God, and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But God, in His great love and mercy, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Jesus took the punishment we deserve, and through His resurrection, He conquered sin and death, offering us eternal life.
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 not a one-time event but the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. Repentance is a daily turning away from sin and turning toward God. It is a surrender of your will to His and a commitment to follow Him in obedience. Jesus Himself said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23).
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you have suggested. Start with the book of John, which beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. John 3:16 declares, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." This is the heart of the Gospel: God’s love for you, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son.
Let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your incredible love and mercy. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and rise again so that we might have eternal life. Lord, we lift up those who are seeking salvation today. Draw them to Yourself, open their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word, and soften their spirits to respond in faith.
Father, we ask that You would reveal the depth of their sin and the greatness of Your grace. Help them to see their need for a Savior and to turn away from their sins in genuine repentance. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be born again and become new creations in Christ.
Lord, we pray that You would guide them as they begin this journey of faith. Surround them with godly believers who can disciple and encourage them. Give them a hunger for Your Word and a desire to know You more deeply. Help them to walk in obedience to Your commands and to live lives that honor You.
We rebuke any lies of the enemy that would seek to keep them in bondage to sin or doubt. We declare that Your Word is true, and that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13). May they experience the freedom, joy, and peace that comes from knowing You.
Father, we ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To those who have just received Christ or are considering this step, we encourage you to find a local Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, be baptized as a public declaration of your new life in Christ, and be discipled by mature believers. The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone but in community with other believers. As Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk in the light of His truth. Remember, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Your journey with Christ is just beginning, and we rejoice with you in the hope of eternal life that is found in Him alone.
