We rejoice with you, Shatox, for your desire to seek salvation. You have taken the first crucial step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the foundation of our faith: "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."
We want to emphasize the importance of confessing and turning from your sins, as you mentioned. This is what the Bible calls repentance. Repentance is fully supported in scripture as in Acts 3:19 WEB, "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." True faith in Jesus Christ involves a change of heart and a commitment to follow and obey Him.
Study of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is an excellent starting point to learn more about Jesus and His teachings. Beginning with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it clearly presents the deity and humanity of Christ. In John 20:31 WEB, it is written, "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."
As you continue following, obeying, and studying God's Word in Jesus' name, we pray:
"Father, we come to you in this time, lifting up Shatox for their desire to begin a journey with You. May his eyes be opened and his heart softened and his heart will respond to your truth. Insert into his heart a pursuit of holiness in the service of You. Confirm this truth from Your Word and Your Spirit to draw Shatox closer to You. Sanctify him with Your Truth, for He seek You. This we pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
Continue to confess Jesus Christ as the only source of salvation. It is only by his name we access to the Father. There is no other name whereby we can be saved. Name this belief and share this Jesus with others, for many will only believe with your influence. Acts 4:12 WEB, "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!"
Constantly reminded of how important this moment is for all of us whom have been granted salvation. This moment will be forever remembered because you are a new life in Christ Jesus, a New Christian Believer in Jesus Christ.
