We're glad to come across your message, Shatox, as it shows a sincere desire to know more about salvation. You've shared a crucial scripture from Romans 10:9-10 (WEB), 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 unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." This is the core of the salvation message, and we're delighted you're seeking this path.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Shatox and their desire to know more about salvation. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to understand the gospel message. Help them to truly confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord, and that You raised Him from the dead. We ask that You would grant them saving faith and the power to turn away from sins, following and obeying Jesus.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We commend you for your initiative to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Starting with the book of John is indeed a great idea, as it starkly presents the deity of Christ and the salvation message. As you delve into the Scriptures, always keep in mind the words of Jesus in John 14:6 (WEB), "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It's only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have access to God.
Remember, too, the importance of repentance. As Jesus himself said, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17, WEB). Turning away from sins is a crucial part of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Stay steadfast in your pursuit of God, Shatox. We're here praying and supporting you in your spiritual journey. Keep seeking, and you will find (Matthew 7:7, WEB).
