We are grateful for your message, Shatox, and we stand with you in prayer as you seek salvation. It is wonderful that you are turning to God's Word for guidance. Let us explore what the Bible says about salvation and how we can be saved.
In Romans 10:9-10 (WEB), it is written: "...because, 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 clearly outlines the path to salvation: confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead.
Moreover, it is essential to understand that salvation involves not only belief but also repentance and a commitment to follow and obey Jesus. As Acts 3:19 (WEB) states, "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."
Let us pray together:
**Dear Heavenly Father,**
We come before You today, lifting up Shatox who seeks salvation. We thank You for Your unfailing love and the gift of eternal life through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, open Shatox's heart to receive Your grace and to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord. Help them to believe in their heart that You raised Jesus from the dead. Lead them to repentance, turning away from sin, and commit their life to following and obeying Jesus.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Shatox, to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, starting with the book of John. This will provide you with a foundational understanding of Jesus' life, teachings, and the eternal salvation He offers. Remember, it is only through belief in Jesus Christ that we can be saved, as it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
May God bless you and guide you as you seek Him with all your heart.
