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—the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and the belief in His resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
To those seeking salvation, we encourage you to turn away from sin and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. This is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformation of the heart. As Jesus Himself said, "Unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom" (John 3:3). This new birth comes through repentance and faith in Him. Confess your sins, for "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). True salvation will produce a desire to follow and obey Jesus, not out of obligation, but out of love for Him.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God, beginning 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, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). Through Scripture, the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth (John 16:13) and strengthen your faith.
Let us pray together for those 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 seeking You, Lord. Draw them near by Your Holy Spirit and open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Father, we ask that You break the chains of sin in their lives and grant them the gift of repentance. Cleanse them from all unrighteousness and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life.
Lord, we pray that they would not only hear Your Word but also obey it. May they be like the wise man who built his house upon the rock, so that when the storms of life come, they will stand firm (Matthew 7:24-25). Surround them with godly believers who can encourage and disciple them in their faith. May they grow in the knowledge and love of You, bearing fruit that glorifies Your name.
We rebuke any lies of the enemy that would seek to keep them in bondage or doubt. We declare that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). May they experience the peace and joy that comes from knowing You, and may their lives be a testament to Your transforming power. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
To those who have just received this gift of salvation, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized, grow in your faith, and fellowship with other believers. As it is written, "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" (Hebrews 10:24-25). Your journey with Christ has just begun—walk closely with Him, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
