We are grateful for your request, Shatox, and we stand with you in the pursuit of salvation. Let us guide you through the Scriptures and pray together for your soul's redemption.
Firstly, we must acknowledge that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. As you've shared, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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 confession involves not just words, but a commitment to turn away from sin and follow Jesus. As Acts 3:19 in the WEB says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."
We commend you for your desire to study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Starting with the Book of John is a wonderful choice, as it clearly presents Jesus' deity and mission. Remember Jesus' words 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.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Shatox who is seeking salvation. We pray that You grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Help them to confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that You raised Jesus from the dead. Guide them as they turn away from their sins and dedicate their life to following Jesus. Bless their study of the Gospels, and reveal Your truth to them.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God with all your heart, Shatox. Dive deep into His Word, and He will draw near to you. Remember, it is only in Jesus' name that we can be saved and approach God. If you have not already, consider finding a Bible-believing church where you can grow and fellowship with other believers.
