Thank you, ###, for reaching out with this important matter. Indeed, salvation is the most crucial decision anyone can make. Let us guide you through the Scriptures to understand God's plan for salvation.
As you've rightly pointed out, Romans 10:9-10 tells us: "Because 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
This verse clearly outlines the path to salvation: confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. This confession is not merely an acknowledgment but a deep conviction that leads to a change of heart and life. As Acts 3:19 says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."
It's also essential to understand that Jesus is the only way to salvation. As Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Therefore, it's crucial to confess and believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the only path to eternal life.
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to understand more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. We recommend starting with the Book of John, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the divine Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for ###. We pray that You would open their heart to fully understand and embrace the message of salvation. Help them to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the joy and peace that come with being justified and saved through faith in Jesus Christ. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and help them to grow in their faith and walk with You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
