Shatox, thank you for reaching out with your desire for salvation. It is our joy to guide you and pray with you on this journey.
Firstly, we want to affirm the Scripture you've shared 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." This is indeed the path to salvation, and we are thrilled to see your interest in following Jesus.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You with Shatox, who desires to be saved. Lord, we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord. We believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We ask for forgiveness for our sins, and we turn away from them. Help us to follow and obey Jesus in all areas of our lives. In Jesusโ name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue reading and studying the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. As suggested, starting with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it clearly presents Jesus' life, teachings, and the salvation message.
Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (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.'"
As you grow in your faith, we encourage you to find a fellowship of believers to support and encourage you in your walk with Christ. Continue to pray, study God's Word, and live a life that honors Him.
We are excited for this new journey you're embarking on, Shatox! Keep us posted on your spiritual growth, and know that we are praying for you.
