Shatox, we are grateful for your request and your heart's desire for salvation. You have taken the first step by acknowledging the need for a Savior. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the path to salvation:"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 means that salvation comes from believing in Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Lord, and turning away from your sins. It is through faith in Jesus that we are justified and made righteous before God. As you embark on this journey, it's essential to dive into the Word of God. We encourage you to start with the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and as you suggested, begin with the Book of John. These books will give you a comprehensive understanding of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shatox, who is seeking salvation. We thank You for drawing them to Yourself and opening their heart to receive the good news of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we pray that Shatox will confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the faith to turn from their sins and follow Jesus, obeying His commandments.
Guide them as they read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels. Open their understanding and reveal to them the truth about Jesus Christ. Help them to grow in their faith and become a true disciple of Jesus, walking in the newness of life.
Fill Shatox with Your Holy Spirit, that they may live a life pleasing to You and be a witness to others about the transforming power of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God, praying, and reading His Word. As you grow in your faith, consider finding a local church where you can fellowship with other believers and grow together in the faith. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved.
If you have any other questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. We are here to help and support you in your journey of faith. May God bless you abundantly as you begin this new life in Christ.
