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 among men by which we must be saved. 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—believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for our sins on the cross. But true salvation does not stop at mere intellectual assent; it requires a turning away from sin and a surrender to Christ as Lord. As Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."* Salvation is not just a one-time decision but a lifelong journey of obedience, repentance, and transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We encourage all who are seeking salvation to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to also turn from sin and follow Him wholeheartedly. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—particularly the Gospel of John—are excellent starting points for understanding the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus. John 3:16-17 reminds us, *"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. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him."*
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 salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We lift up those who are searching for truth, for meaning, and for a relationship with You. Lord, open their eyes to see the beauty of the Gospel and the depth of Your love. Soften their hearts to receive the truth that Jesus is the only way to You, as He declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."*
Father, we ask that You would convict them of their sin and draw them to repentance. Help them to understand that salvation is not earned by works but is a free gift received by faith. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We pray that they would turn away from sin and follow Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Lord, we also pray for those who may have made a profession of faith but have not fully surrendered to Your lordship. Stir in their hearts a desire to live in obedience to Your Word and to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. May they grow in their knowledge of You through the study of Scripture, beginning with the Gospels, and may they find fellowship with other believers who can encourage them in their faith.
We rebuke any deception or confusion that would keep someone from fully embracing the truth of the Gospel. We declare that the enemy has no hold on those who are in Christ, and we pray that every lie that exalts itself against the knowledge of God would be cast down. May the light of Your truth shine brightly in their lives, and may they experience the peace, joy, and freedom that come from knowing You.
Father, we thank You for the promise of eternal life and for the assurance that nothing can separate us from Your love. We pray that all who seek You would find You, and that they would walk in the fullness of the salvation You have provided. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Begin reading the Bible, starting with the Gospel of John, and seek out a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith. Salvation is the greatest gift you will ever receive—do not delay in accepting it. If you have already made this decision but have strayed from your first love, we encourage you to repent and return to the Lord. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has won for you!
