Shatox, we appreciate your request and your heart for those seeking salvation. We stand with you in prayer and offer the following biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for sharing the crucial scripture from Romans 10:9-10, "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 core message of salvation, and it is wonderful that you have highlighted this.
We also agree with your emphasis on the importance of turning from sins and following Jesus. True faith involves repentance, which means turning away from our sinful ways and committing to follow Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 3:19, "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."
Moreover, encouraging people to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is an excellent starting point. The book of John, especially, provides a clear and powerful presentation of who Jesus is and why He came. In John 20:31, 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."
Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:
Dear 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 will open their hearts and minds to the truth of the Gospel. Help them to understand that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved as stated in Acts 4:12.
Lord, convict them of their sins and draw them to repentance. Give them the faith to believe in Jesus and the courage to confess Him as Lord. Guide them as they read Your Word, and reveal Yourself to them in a profound and personal way.
Surround them with believers who will support and encourage them in their newfound faith. Help them to grow in their relationship with You and to become disciples who make disciples.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to share the Good News boldly, Shatox.
