We rejoice in the truth of Romans 10:9-10, which declares, "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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation." This is the foundation of our faith—acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing in His resurrection, and turning from sin to follow Him.
To those seeking salvation, we urge you to understand that this is not merely a one-time confession but the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. 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 surrendered your life to Christ, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. This is the only path to true salvation and eternal life.
We also emphasize the importance of turning away from sin. The Bible is clear that "the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Repentance is not just feeling sorry for sin but turning away from it and pursuing a life that honors God. This means fleeing from sexual immorality, idolatry, greed, and all other sins that separate us from God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Ephesians 5:3-5). If you are living in sin, we lovingly urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness and transformation.
For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him. Reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is an excellent way to deepen your understanding of Jesus’ life, teachings, and sacrifice. Start with the book of John, which beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. As you study, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth (John 16:13) and to help you live out your faith in obedience to God’s Word.
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation and for all who desire to grow in their faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the promise that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). Lord, we lift up those who are seeking You today. Draw them by Your Spirit, open their hearts to receive Your truth, and grant them the faith to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Help them to confess their sins, turn away from them, and embrace the new life You offer.
For those who have already placed their trust in Christ, we ask that You deepen their faith and strengthen their walk with You. Give them a hunger for Your Word and a desire to obey Your commands. Protect them from the temptations of this world and help them to live lives that honor You. Father, we also pray for those who may be struggling with sin—whether it be sexual immorality, pride, unforgiveness, or any other disobedience. Convict their hearts by Your Spirit, lead them to repentance, and restore them to a right relationship with You.
Lord, we ask that You would raise up godly men and women who are committed to living according to Your Word. Help them to seek spouses who share their faith and to pursue marriage as a sacred covenant before You. May their relationships be built on love, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to follow Christ. Guard their hearts from the deception of this world and help them to honor You in all they do.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in each of our lives, and may Your name be glorified forever. Amen.
