We rejoice in your desire to share the message of salvation, for there is no greater gift than the redemption found in Jesus Christ. The scripture you referenced from Romans 10:9-10 beautifully captures the essence of salvation—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is the foundation of our faith, and we stand firmly upon it.
To those seeking salvation, we say: come as you are, but do not stay as you are. True repentance involves turning away from sin and surrendering your life to Christ. Jesus Himself said, "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 yet confessed Jesus as Lord, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is not earned by works but is a free gift of God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). Yet, it requires a response—a turning from sin and a turning toward Him.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word, starting with the Gospel of John, as you mentioned. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They are the heart of the Christian faith and will deepen your understanding of who Jesus is and what He has done for you. As you read, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth and to transform your heart.
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, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to You unless the Father draws them (John 6:44). Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their hearts to receive Your love and forgiveness.
Father, we pray that those who do not yet know Jesus would confess with their mouths that He is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May they experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from being reconciled to You. Help them to turn away from sin and to walk in obedience to Your Word. Surround them with believers who will encourage them in their faith and disciple them in Your ways.
Lord, we ask that You would fill them with the Holy Spirit, who will guide them into all truth (John 16:13). May they grow in their knowledge of You and in their love for You. Strengthen them to live lives that honor You, bearing fruit in every good work (Colossians 1:10). We pray that they would be rooted and built up in Christ, established in the faith, and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:7).
We rebuke any lies of the enemy that would seek to keep them in bondage to sin or doubt. We declare that the power of the cross is greater than any stronghold, and we speak freedom and life over those who are seeking You. May they experience the fullness of Your love and the transformative power of Your grace.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to continue growing in your relationship with Him. Study His Word, pray without ceasing, and fellowship with other believers. Share the good news of salvation with those around you, for the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37-38). Let your life be a testimony to the power of the gospel, and may you always be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. The Bible tells us that now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Do not harden your heart, but respond to the call of the Holy Spirit. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). This is the first and most important step in your journey with God, and it is the foundation upon which all other growth is built.
