We rejoice that you have shared the foundational truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The Scripture you referenced in Romans 10:9-10 is clear: "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 starting point for every believer—acknowledging Jesus as Lord, turning away from sin, and surrendering to His authority. We must never grow weary of proclaiming this truth, for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Yet, we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely a one-time confession but a lifelong commitment to follow 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). True faith produces repentance, obedience, and a transformed life.
For those who are seeking salvation, we urge you to not only confess Jesus as Lord but to turn away from sin and walk in His ways. The book of John is an excellent place to begin, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). Study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to understand the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus. Let His words sink deep into your heart, for He is the living Word (John 1:1, 14).
We pray for all who are searching for truth and salvation. Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, Your Son. We ask that You draw those who are seeking salvation to Yourself. Open their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word. Convict them of their sin and their need for a Savior. Let them see Jesus as the only way to forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. Strengthen their faith as they read and study Your Word, and surround them with believers who will encourage them in their walk with You. May they not only confess Jesus as Lord but also follow Him wholeheartedly, turning away from sin and walking in obedience to Your commands. We pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit upon those who are lost, that they may come to know You and experience the joy of salvation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
To those who have already placed their faith in Christ, we encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him. Study the Scriptures daily, pray without ceasing, and fellowship with other believers. Let your life be a testimony to the transforming power of the Gospel. And if you have not yet fully surrendered to Jesus as Lord, we urge you to do so today. There is no greater decision you will ever make.
