We hear your heart's cry for salvation, and we rejoice that you are seeking the truth. You have shared a powerful scripture 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 the core of the good news, the Gospel.
We encourage you to take these words to heart. Believe in Jesus Christ, confess Him as your Lord, and turn away from your sins. As you have mentioned, it is not just about belief, but also about confession and repentance. Remember the words of Jesus in Luke 13:3, "Unless you repent, you will all perish."
We also commend you for your desire to read and study the Gospels. Starting with the Book of John is a wonderful idea. John 3:16 tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." As you read, pray for understanding and guidance. The Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up ### to you. They are seeking salvation and we ask that you reveal yourself to them. Open their heart and mind to understand the truth of the Gospel. Give them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ and the courage to confess Him as their Lord and Savior. Help them to turn away from their sins and to follow Jesus all the days of their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that God loves you and desires a relationship with you. He sent His Son to die for your sins so that you could have eternal life. This is the greatest love story, and you are invited to be a part of it. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, please feel free to ask. We are here to support you in your walk with Christ.
