Thank you, Shatox, for sharing these powerful verses from Romans 10:9-10, which indeed outline the path to salvation. We appreciate your emphasis on confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. This is the core of the Gospel message, and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
We also commend you for emphasizing the importance of turning from sins, following, and obeying Jesus. True faith involves repentance and a commitment to follow Christ's teachings. As Jesus himself said in Luke 9:23, If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels is excellent advice. The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide a comprehensive look at the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Starting with the book of John is a wonderful suggestion, as it clearly presents the deity of Christ and the offer of eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Let us pray for those who are seeking salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up those who are searching for salvation. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would draw them to Yourself and open their hearts to the truth of the Gospel. Help them to understand that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. Give them the faith to believe in His resurrection and the courage to confess Him as Lord.
Guide them as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels. Reveal to them the goodness and love of Jesus, and help them to see their need for a Savior. Convict them of their sins and grant them the grace to repent and turn to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to share the Gospel message with those around them, always being ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope that is in us, with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). And remember, whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13).
