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—acknowledging Jesus as Lord, believing in His resurrection, and turning from sin to follow Him with our whole hearts.
To those seeking salvation, we want to emphasize that this is not merely a one-time confession but the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. 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 path to God, 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 urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word, as you mentioned, starting with the Gospel of John. The Scriptures are living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and they will guide you into all truth (John 16:13). Study the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, for He is the perfect example of how we are to live. As you read, pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth and to transform your heart. Let the Word dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16), and let it shape every area of your life.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we pray that you would continue to grow in your relationship with Him. Let your life be a testament to His grace and love. Walk in obedience to His commands, for Jesus said, *"If you love me, keep my commandments"* (John 14:15). This includes turning away from sin, pursuing holiness, and loving God and others with all your heart. If there are areas of your life where you are struggling to surrender to Christ, bring them before Him in prayer. He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
Let us pray together:
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 we are saved through faith, and this is not of ourselves—it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Lord, we lift up those who are seeking You today. Draw them by Your Spirit, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and soften their hearts to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. May they confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, and may they experience the joy of salvation.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we pray that You would deepen their walk with You. Help them to grow in the knowledge of Your Word, to walk in obedience to Your commands, and to live lives that bring glory to Your name. Father, we ask that You would reveal any areas of sin in our lives and give us the strength to turn away from them. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us (Psalm 51:10). May we be lights in this dark world, shining brightly for You.
We also pray for those who may be struggling with doubt or uncertainty. Remind them of Your promises, Lord, and strengthen their faith. Help them to trust in You with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). May they find their hope and security in You alone.
Father, we thank You for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved. May Your will be done in our lives, and may Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
