Thank you, Shatox, for sharing these powerful verses from Romans 10:9-10, which indeed outline the path to salvation: "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 is the core of the Christian faith, and we rejoice in your desire to share this truth. We will pray for those seeking salvation and encourage you as well.
Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of recognizing that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved, as Acts 4:12 tells us: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This is a fundamental truth that should be acknowledged and believed.
We also commend you for highlighting the importance of confessing and turning from sins, as well as following and obeying Jesus. True faith involves a commitment to live according to God's will. As Jesus said in Luke 9:23, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."
Your advice to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, starting with the book of John, is excellent. These books provide a comprehensive look at the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is through learning about Jesus that we come to know God more deeply and understand the path to salvation more clearly.
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those who are seeking salvation. We pray that your Holy Spirit will open their hearts and minds to the truth of the Gospel. Help them to confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that you raised Him from the dead. Grant them the faith to turn from their sins and follow Jesus obediently.
Guide them as they read and study your Word, especially the Gospels. Reveal to them the depth of your love and the path to eternal life through Jesus Christ. Strengthen their faith and give them the courage to live according to your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God bless you, Shatox, as you continue to share the Good News and encourage others in their faith journey.
