We are grateful for your interest in salvation, Shatox. You have taken an important step by seeking the truth. Let's explore what the Bible says about salvation.
As you mentioned, Romans 10:9-10 teaches us, "that 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." This passage makes it clear that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord.
Additionally, Acts 3:19 reminds us, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out." True faith involves not just belief but also a turning away from sin and a commitment to follow Jesus. As Jesus Himself said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (Matthew 16:24).
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Starting with the Book of John, as you suggested, is a wonderful idea. John 3:16 sums up the message of salvation beautifully: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your immense love for us, demonstrated through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for Shatox, that they may come to know Jesus personally, confess Him as Lord, and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the faith to turn from their sins and the strength to follow Jesus all the days of their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God with all your heart, and He will surely be found by you. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. We are here to support you in your journey of faith.
