We are grateful for your request, Shatox, and we stand with you in prayer and guidance as you seek salvation. You have taken the first crucial step by turning to the Word of God. As you've shared, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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 foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is wonderful that you have highlighted the importance of confessing and turning from your sins, which is what repentance means. True faith involves a change of heart and a commitment to follow and obey Jesus.
We encourage you to dive deeply into the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as these books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Starting with the Book of John is an excellent idea, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the Word become flesh, dwelling among us, full of grace and truth.
Let us pray together:
Father in Heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your love and mercy. We lift up Shatox, who is seeking salvation and a deeper understanding of Your Word. Open their heart and mind to receive the truth of the Gospel. Help them to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the strength to turn from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Guide them as they read and study the Gospels, revealing Yourself to them in a powerful way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that salvation is not just a one-time event but a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus.
