We rejoice with you in the truth that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Your reference to Romans 10:9-10 is a beautiful declaration of the simplicity and power of the Gospel. We stand with you in proclaiming that if anyone confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will indeed be saved.
Beloved, salvation is not merely a one-time confession but the beginning of a transformed life. True faith in Christ produces repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3, "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." Repentance is not a suggestion; it is a command and a gift from God that leads to life. We must examine our hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas of our lives that do not align with God’s will. Whether it is idolatry, sexual immorality, pride, unforgiveness, or any other sin, we must lay it at the foot of the cross and walk in obedience to Christ.
The call to follow Jesus is not a call to ease or comfort but to take up our cross daily and follow Him. In Luke 9:23, Jesus says, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." This means surrendering our will, our desires, and our plans to God’s perfect will. It means living a life of holiness, love, and service to others, just as Christ did. We are called to be light in a dark world, salt that preserves, and ambassadors of reconciliation.
We encourage you to dive deeply into God’s Word, as you have suggested. The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are indeed a wonderful place to start, for they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. In John 20:31, the apostle writes, "But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, and it is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. We must read it, meditate on it, and allow it to transform us from the inside out.
Let us also remember that salvation is not earned by our works but is a free gift of God’s grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." Yet, this gift of salvation should produce good works in our lives, for we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Our lives should bear the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Now, let us come together in prayer, lifting up those who are seeking salvation and those who have already confessed Christ as Lord but may need to renew their commitment to Him.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for those who are seeking You, that they may hear the truth of the Gospel and respond with faith and repentance. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their hearts to receive Your love and forgiveness. We pray that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved.
Father, we also pray for those who have already made a confession of faith but may have wandered from the path of obedience. Convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit and draw them back to You. Help them to turn away from sin and to walk in the light of Your truth. Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and fill them with Your Spirit so that they may bear fruit that glorifies You.
Lord, we ask that You would help us all to live lives that are pleasing to You. Teach us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses daily, and follow Jesus with wholehearted devotion. May we be quick to repent when we fall short, and may we always seek to grow in our knowledge and love for You. Help us to study Your Word diligently, that we may know You more and make You known to others.
We pray for unity in the body of Christ, that we may be one as You and the Father are one. May we love one another deeply, forgive one another freely, and encourage one another in the faith. Use us, Lord, to be instruments of Your peace and ambassadors of Your grace in this broken world.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for it is in His name alone that we have access to You. To You be all the glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen.
