Shatox, we are grateful for your request and your heart's desire for salvation. We echo the words of Scripture in 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 the foundation of our faith, and we rejoice in your interest to know more.
We encourage you to not only confess with your mouth but also turn from your sins, as true faith leads to repentance. As Jesus said in Luke 13:3, "Unless you repent, you will all perish." Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved, as Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved."
We advise you to start reading and studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Beginning with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it clearly presents Jesus as the divine Son of God who offers eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Shatox and their desire to know You and be saved. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to understand the Gospel message. Help them to truly believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord and that You raised Him from the dead. Give them the strength to turn from their sins and follow Jesus faithfully. Guide them as they read and study Your Word. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God with all your heart, and you will find Him. As Jesus promised in Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you." Be blessed in your journey of faith, Shatox.
