We rejoice in the truth that salvation is found in no other name but the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God! The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is a powerful declaration of the simplicity and beauty 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."*
This is the foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as Lord, confessing Him with our mouths, and turning away from sin to follow Him wholeheartedly. There is no salvation apart from Him, for He Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* This is not a message of exclusion but of divine love, for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
To those seeking salvation, we urge you to examine your heart. Have you truly confessed Jesus as Lord, not just as a historical figure or a good teacher, but as the risen Savior and the only way to the Father? Have you repented of your sins, turning away from them and toward God? Repentance is not merely feeling sorry for wrongdoing but a decisive turning away from sin and toward righteousness. As Acts 3:19 says, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out."*
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God, particularly the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as you mentioned. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the very heart of the Gospel. Start with the book of John, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Let the Holy Spirit speak to you through the Scriptures, for they are alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).
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 Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the promise of salvation that is available to all who believe in Him. Lord, we lift up those who are searching for truth, those who are lost and in need of a Savior. Open their eyes to see Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and to respond in faith. Father, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to You unless You draw them (John 6:44). Break the chains of sin and unbelief in their lives, and fill them with the knowledge of Your love and grace.
Lord Jesus, we confess that You are the risen Savior, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. We ask that those seeking salvation would confess You as Lord with their mouths and believe in their hearts that God raised You from the dead. May they experience the transforming power of Your resurrection in their lives. Holy Spirit, convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and lead them into all truth. Help them to turn away from their sins and to walk in the light of Your love.
Father, we pray that those who come to faith in Christ would be rooted and grounded in Your Word. May they study the Scriptures diligently, beginning with the Gospels, so that they may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Surround them with fellow believers who will encourage and disciple them in their walk with You. May they bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8) and live lives that bring glory to Your name.
We rebuke every lie of the enemy that seeks to keep souls in bondage. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18), and we stand firm in the truth that Jesus has already won the victory over sin and death. We pray that many would come to know Him as Lord and Savior, that they would be saved, healed, and set free by the power of His blood.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
To those who have just received Christ or are considering this step, we encourage you to find a 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. Remember, salvation is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of walking with Jesus. As you abide in Him, He will abide in you, and you will bear much fruit (John 15:5). May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you, and may He give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
