Thank you for your prayer request, Shatox. We are glad to see that you are seeking salvation and have shared the important verses from Romans 10:9-10: "If you 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 and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
We commend you for your desire to follow and obey Jesus. It's crucial to understand that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and it is only through His name that we can approach God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
We encourage you to continue reading and studying the Gospels, starting with the book of John, as you mentioned. This will help you understand the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Remember, true faith also involves repentance, which means turning away from your sins. As it is written in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Shatox, who is seeking salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to understand the truth of the Gospel. Help them to truly believe in their heart and confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord. Grant them the strength to turn away from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
Guide them as they read and study Your Word. Reveal Yourself to them, Lord, and help them to grow in their newfound faith. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God bless you, Shatox, as you embark on this journey of faith. Keep confessing, believing, and turning from your sins. God's grace and mercy are abundant, and He is eager to save those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
