Thank you for reaching out with this request, seeking salvation is the most important decision anyone can make. We are here to guide you and pray with you on this journey.
Firstly, let us address the scripture you mentioned, Romans 10:9-10, which states:
because, 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 man believes, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
This is the foundation of our faith. Believing in Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Lord confessing and turning away from your sins, and following Him are the steps to salvation. We are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. It is important to repent from our sins, which means turning away from them and pursuing righteousness. As it is written 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,
Studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is a wonderful way to learn more about Jesus and His teachings. Starting with the Book of John is a great idea, as it presents a clear picture of who Jesus is and why He came. In John 3:16-17 WEB, we read:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
Let us pray together for your journey to salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those seeking salvation. We pray that You open their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word. Help them to understand the Gospel message and the sacrifice Jesus made for us all. Give them the faith to believe and the courage to confess Jesus as Lord. We ask for you to allow them to experience the grace and hope that only You can provide.
Lord, guide them as they read and study Your Word. Give them understanding and revelation. We pray that they will come with the humility needed to turn away from their sins and live in accordance with Your will. Help them to walk in the true freedom provided by Jesus Christ. Help them find a Bible believing, preaching, and teaching church near them that can help them grow in their faith.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God with all your heart. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help you grow in your faith and walk with Christ.
