Shatox, we appreciate your desire for salvation and your interest in God's Word. You're on the right path as you've shared Romans 10:9-10, which says, "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 acknowledging the importance of confessing and turning away from sins, as well as following and obeying Jesus. However, we want to emphasize that salvation comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not just through turning from sins or good works. As it is written in Ephesians 2:8-9 (WEB), "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
We encourage you to continue reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Starting with the book of John, as you've mentioned, is a great idea, as it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the way to salvation.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Shatox, who is seeking salvation and a deeper understanding of Your Word. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to them as they read and study the Scriptures. grant them the faith to believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord and that You raised Him from the dead. Help them to confess this truth with their mouth, so that they may be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue your journey, Shatox, we encourage you to keep seeking God with all your heart. He promises that those who seek Him will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Keep trusting in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation, and grow in your relationship with Him as you read His Word and obey His teachings.
