Shatox, we rejoice in your desire to seek salvation. The Bible indeed tells us, "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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation." (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
We commend you for including these powerful verses in your request, as they accurately outline the path to salvation. It is essential to confess and turn away from your sins, choosing instead to follow and obey Jesus. Remember, "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23, WEB), but "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16, WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Shatox to you, thanking you for stirring in their heart a desire to seek salvation through Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Give them the faith to believe in their heart and the courage to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord. Help them to turn away from their sins and to follow Jesus faithfully. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, starting with the Gospel of John, and reveal Your love and plan for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to begin reading the Gospel of John, just as you mentioned. As you journey through the Bible, may God's Word convict, inspire, and transform your life. Always remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have eternal life. "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12, WEB). Stay strong in the Lord, and may His love and grace be with you.
