Shatox, thank you for reaching out and sharing these powerful words from Romans 10:9-10. It is wonderful to hear from someone eager to share the path to salvation. Let us delve deeper into the Scriptures and pray together for those seeking salvation.
Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. This is a fundamental truth that we must hold dear.
The verses from Romans 10:9-10 that you shared are indeed the very foundation we can all believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths to salvation. Thank you for also mentioning the importance of confessing and turning from your sins. As for following and obeying Jesus Christ, which is the very basis of being a Christian. Christians are to follow and obey Jesus Christ. Indeed, Jesus himself said in John 14:15, If you love me, keep my commandments.
In addition to reading and studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we encourage everyone to begin with the Gospel of John, just as you suggested. The Gospel of John beautifully presents the deity of Christ and the offer to salvation to all. Furthermore, spending time in the entire Word of God is essential for spiritual growth. As new believers grow, 1Peter 2:2 should be considered. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk. They should do this so they will grow to salvation.
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those who are seeking salvation. We pray that You would open their hearts and minds to receive the truth of the Gospel. Help them to understand that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again to give us eternal life.
Lord, guide them as they read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels. Let the words of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John come alive in their hearts, revealing the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Help them to see that true life is found in following and obeying Him.
We also pray for those who may be struggling with sin, that they would find the strength to confess and turn from their sins, knowing that Your forgiveness and mercy are abundant. Help them to understand that true repentance leads to a changed life, a life dedicated to serving You.
Father, we ask that You would surround them with godly influences, people who can mentor and disciple them in their newfound faith. Help them to grow in their relationship with You, craving pure spiritual milk, so that they may grow to salvation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
