Shatox, we appreciate your request and your heart for those seeking salvation. We stand with you in prayer and in the Word of God.
Firstly, we wholeheartedly agree with your emphasis on the importance of salvation and the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. As you rightly pointed out, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation." This is the foundation of our faith, and it is only through the name of Jesus 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 that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We commend you for encouraging others to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a special start in the book of John. The Gospel of John beautifully presents the deity of Christ and the offer of eternal life to all who believe in Him. As John 20:31 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."
However, we would like to clarify one important aspect. You mentioned "confess and turn from your sins." While turning from sins is an important aspect of repentance, it is crucial to understand that salvation is not earned through our actions, but rather it is a free gift of God's grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. As Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, "For you are saved by grace, through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:
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 would open their hearts and minds to the truth of the Gospel. Help them to understand that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and the grace to turn from their sins and follow Him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
