We appreciate your request, Shatox, and we're here to guide you in your journey towards salvation. You've shared crucial scriptures from Romans 10:9-10 (WEB), "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 unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Firstly, we commend you for recognizing that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. It is essential to understand that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). Therefore, confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection is the only path to salvation.
However, we must also emphasize the importance of turning away from sins, as you mentioned. This is what the Bible calls repentance. Acts 3:19 (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." Repentance is not just feeling sorry for sins but also turning away from them and pursuing righteousness.
Additionally, you encouraged reading and studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, starting with John. This is an excellent approach, as these books chronicle Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. John 20:31 (WEB) states, "but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name."
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we bring Shatox before you, asking that you reveal yourself to them as they read your Word. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ and the courage to confess Him as Lord. Help them to turn away from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
May God bless you as you journey towards knowing Christ and growing in His likeness.
