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 to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Your reminder of Romans 10:9-10 is a beautiful declaration of the simplicity and power of the Gospel—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead brings salvation. This is the cornerstone of our faith, and we stand firm in it together.
Yet, we must also emphasize that true repentance is not merely a one-time confession but a daily turning away from sin and walking in obedience to Christ. Jesus Himself said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23). Salvation is not just a ticket to heaven; it is a transformative relationship with the living God, where we surrender our lives to His will and allow His Spirit to conform us to the image of Christ.
For those who are seeking salvation, we urge you not to stop at mere intellectual belief. The demons believe in God and shudder (James 2:19), but they are not saved. True saving faith produces fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). If you have confessed Jesus as Lord but continue to live in unrepentant sin, examine your heart. Have you truly surrendered to Him, or are you clinging to your own ways? The Bible warns, "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or don’t you know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified" (2 Corinthians 13:5).
We also encourage you to immerse yourselves in the Word of God, as you have rightly suggested. The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the very foundation of our faith. Start in the book of John, as you mentioned, for it clearly proclaims that Jesus is the Son of God and that believing in Him grants eternal life (John 20:31). But do not stop there. The entire Bible is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). Let it shape your mind, heart, and actions.
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 found only in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We lift up those who are searching for truth, for meaning, for forgiveness. Lord, open their eyes to see the beauty of the Gospel and the depth of Your love demonstrated on the cross. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and convict them of their need for a Savior. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).
Father, we pray that those who confess Jesus as Lord would not merely do so with their lips but with their lives. Help them to turn away from sin and walk in the light of Your truth. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8). Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and satisfy them with Your presence (Matthew 5:6).
Lord, we also pray for protection over those who are new to the faith. Guard them against the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Surround them with godly believers who will encourage them, disciple them, and walk alongside them in their journey. Help them to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we can be saved. May Your will be done in the lives of those who seek You, and may Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
To those who have not yet surrendered to Christ, we urge you: Do not delay. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). Confess your sins, turn away from them, and place your trust in Jesus alone. He is the way, the truth, and the life—no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can help you take your first steps in faith. The journey begins with a single step, and that step is toward Jesus.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
