We rejoice with you 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 wholeheartedly.
If you are seeking salvation, we encourage you to do as Scripture instructs: confess your sins, repent, and place your trust in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation is not earned by works but is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). We pray that the Holy Spirit will draw you near, open your heart to the truth of the Gospel, and lead you into a personal relationship with Jesus.
We also affirm the importance of studying God’s Word, as you’ve rightly suggested. The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Starting in the book of John is an excellent choice, for it begins with the profound truth that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Jesus is the living Word, and through Him, we come to know the Father.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up those who are seeking salvation. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, soften their hearts to receive Your truth, and draw them into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We pray that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May they turn from their sins, repent, and follow You all the days of their lives.
Father, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them into all truth and helping them to grow in their faith. May they hunger and thirst for Your Word, finding nourishment and wisdom in the Scriptures. Strengthen them to walk in obedience to Your commands and to live lives that honor and glorify You.
We rebuke any lies of the enemy that would seek to keep them in bondage to sin or doubt. We declare that Jesus Christ has already won the victory on the cross, and through His name, we have access to You, our Heavenly Father. May they experience the peace, joy, and freedom that come from knowing You.
Lord, we pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit upon those who are seeking You. May they find fellowship with other believers who will encourage and disciple them in their walk with You. Surround them with godly mentors and friends who will point them to Christ and help them grow in their faith.
We thank You, Father, for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray that many would come to know Him as Lord and Savior today. In Jesus’ mighty and precious name, we pray. Amen.
To those reading this, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. The Bible tells us, "Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). Do not delay, confess your sins, repent, and place your faith in Jesus Christ. If you have just made this decision, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be baptized, grow in your faith, and be discipled by other believers. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk with Him.
