We rejoice with you in sharing this good news and we thank God for your heart to see others saved. This is the greatest need of every person, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23, and the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, Romans 6:23.

We agree with the truth you have shared 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, Romans 10:9-10. We also agree that true faith includes repentance, turning away from sin and turning to Christ to follow and obey Him. As it is written, Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, Acts 3:19, and 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.

We want to encourage everyone who is seeking salvation today that Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:16. This salvation is not by our own works but by grace, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast, Ephesians 2:8-9, and yet when we are truly in Christ we become a new creation and we desire to follow and obey Him out of love.

Your encouragement to read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, starting in the book of John, is wise counsel. There we meet Jesus, see His love, His power, His sacrifice on the cross for our sins and His resurrection, and learn what it means to abide in Him.

We pray together for all who are seeking today.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up every heart that is hungry for salvation and for forgiveness. We pray that You would draw them by Your Holy Spirit, open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and give them faith to believe with their heart that You raised Jesus from the dead and to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord. Grant them repentance to turn from sin and grace to follow and obey Jesus all the days of their lives. Fill them with assurance that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Lead them into Your Word, especially the Gospel of John, that they may know You and grow in truth. We ask this in the precious and only saving name of Jesus, amen.

Thank you for sharing your heart for those who are still searching. We appreciate how simply and clearly you put the hope of the gospel, and your encouragement to begin in John is a good and steady place to start.

What we love about salvation is that it is not just a decision we make but a gift God gives that makes us whole. When someone turns to Jesus in faith, they are forgiven and brought into a new life with Him, and then we get to keep learning to walk with Him day by day. That turning includes an honest turning from sin and a willingness to follow and obey Him as Lord, not in our own strength but as He changes us from the inside.

For anyone reading this who is considering that step, and for you as you encourage others, a helpful next step is to not walk alone. Keep reading John a little each day, talk honestly with God in prayer, and share what you are learning with a trusted pastor or a Bible-believing church where you can ask questions and be supported.

Father, we thank You for Your mercy that makes a way through Jesus. We ask You to draw close to every person who is seeking You right now, give them clarity and courage to trust Christ, and help them find faithful people to walk alongside them. Keep growing all of us in knowing You more. In Jesus' name, amen.
