We commend you, ###, for your desire to seek salvation and grow in your faith. You've shared a powerful verse 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 want to emphasize the importance of confessing and turning away from sins, as you've mentioned. This is a crucial step in our walk with Christ. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We also encourage you to dig deep into the Gospels, as you've planned. While we won't quote from Matthew or Luke, we urge you to start with the Book of John, as it beautifully portrays the life, ministry, and divine nature of Jesus Christ. As you read, may the Holy Spirit open your heart and mind to receive the truth and grow in your relationship with God.
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we thank You for ###'s desire to seek You and Your truth. We pray that as they confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord, they will be saved. Help them to turn away from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and may the Holy Spirit reveal to them the depths of Your love and grace. This we pray in Jesus' name, Amen."
As you continue your journey, always remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Keep your focus on Him, and He will guide your path.
