We rejoice with you in the truth of Romans 10:9-10, for this is the very heart of the Gospel—that salvation comes through confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. There is no greater hope, no deeper joy than knowing that through Christ alone, we are saved, justified, and reconciled to God. This is not merely a one-time confession but the beginning of a transformed life, where faith produces repentance, obedience, and a hunger for God’s Word.
To those seeking salvation, we say with urgency and love: do not delay. The call of Christ is clear—*"The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."* (Mark 1:15). This is not a suggestion; it is the only path to eternal life. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we plead with you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your trust in Jesus alone. The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).
For those who have already made this confession, we encourage you to walk in the fullness of your salvation. Studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is a wonderful way to grow in your understanding of Christ’s life, teachings, and sacrifice. Begin in the book of John, as you suggested, for it beautifully reveals Jesus as the Son of God and the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. But do not stop there. The entire Bible is God’s inspired Word, profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Let it shape your thoughts, your words, and your actions.
We also urge you to join a local body of believers—a church that preaches the true Gospel, upholds the authority of Scripture, and encourages holy living. The Christian life was never meant to be lived in isolation. As Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, *"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."*
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 Your gift, not of works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Lord, we lift up those who are seeking You today. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior. Soften their hearts to receive Your truth. Break the chains of sin and unbelief, and draw them to Yourself. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Let today be the day of their salvation.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we ask that You deepen their walk with You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear fruit in every good work (Colossians 1:10). Guard them from the deceptions of this world and the schemes of the enemy. Help them to study Your Word diligently, to pray without ceasing, and to live in a manner worthy of the calling they have received (Ephesians 4:1). May their lives be a testimony to Your grace and a light to those who are still in darkness.
Father, we also pray for the Church—that she would stand firm on the truth of Your Word, unashamed of the Gospel, and bold in proclaiming it. Raise up faithful men and women who will preach Christ crucified and call sinners to repentance. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above every name, the only Name by which we are saved. To You be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
