Shatox, we appreciate your heart's desire for salvation and your willingness to share God's word. As you've rightly shared, Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "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 want to emphasize that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, as Acts 4:12 reminds us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Therefore, it's crucial to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection.
We commend you for also highlighting the importance of turning from sins, following, and obeying Jesus. This is a lifelong journey of sanctification, as described in Romans 12:1-2, "I beg you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you should present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Let us pray for you and others seeking salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Shatox and their desire to share Your word. We pray for all those seeking salvation, that they may confess Jesus as Lord, believe in their hearts that He was raised from the dead, and be saved. Help them to turn from their sins, follow, and obey Jesus. Guide them as they read and study Your word, starting with the book of John. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue in your faith journey, knowing that God's love and grace are with you. Always remember to share the hope that you have in Jesus, as 1 Peter 3:15 tells us, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear."
