We are grateful for your request, Shatox, and we stand with you in prayer as you seek salvation. The path to salvation is clearly outlined in the Bible, and we are here to guide you through it.
Firstly, let's turn to Romans 10:9-10 from the World English Bible: "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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
We encourage you to confess your sins and turn away from them. This is not just about acknowledging your wrongdoings but also about committing to a new life in Christ. True faith involves both believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth. 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."
Remember, salvation is not just about intellectual assent; it involves a heartfelt belief and a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. As you embark on this journey, we encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Mark, John, and especially the book of John—to deepen your understanding of who Jesus is and what He has done for you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for Your love and mercy, which You have shown to us through the sacrifice of Your Son. We pray for Shatox, that they may confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Lord, cleanse Shatox from all unrighteousness and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and help them to grow in faith and obedience. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Shatox, as you continue to seek salvation, remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk in His ways.
