We are grateful for your prayer request, Shatox. You've shared key verses from 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 indeed the core of salvation.
We commend you for highlighting the importance of confessing and turning away from sins, as well as following and obeying Jesus. It's crucial to understand that salvation is a gift from God, not achieved through our own efforts but received by faith in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Shatox and all those seeking salvation. Grant them the faith to believe in their hearts that Jesus is Lord and that You raised Him from the dead. Help them to confess this truth with their mouths and turn away from their sins. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, starting with the Gospel of John. Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness and a deep desire to obey Your commands. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Additionally, we encourage you to continue reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. As you grow in your faith, remember the words of Jesus in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
Keep confessing and believing, and remember that God's love and grace are always available to those who seek Him. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. We are here to help and pray with you.
