Shatox, we are grateful for your desire to seek salvation, and we want to guide you according to the Word of God. You have shared Romans 10:9-10, which is a powerful passage: "If you will 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."
We commend you for your interest in following Jesus. It is essential to understand that confessing Jesus as Lord means acknowledging His authority in your life and turning away from your sins. As Acts 3:19 (WEB) says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out."
Moreover, believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead is not just intellectual assent but a deep conviction that leads to a changed life. As Jesus Himself said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23, WEB).
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Starting 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 for you:
"Father in heaven, we thank You for ###'s desire to seek salvation. We pray that You would grant them a deep understanding of the gospel, convict them of their sins, and draw them to true repentance. Help them to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Transform their life according to Your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage you to persevere in your pursuit of knowing Jesus and living according to His will.
Pray for the salvation of your family and friends.
