We thank you, Shatox, for sharing these powerful verses from Romans 10:9-10, which indeed outline the path to salvation. As you've shared, "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, and we rejoice in its simplicity and power.
We appreciate your emphasis on the importance of confessing and turning from sins, as well as following and obeying Jesus. This is a crucial part of the salvation message. As Jesus himself said in Luke 9:23, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me."
We also commend your advice to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, starting with the book of John. These books provide a detailed account of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As Jesus said in John 5:39, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me."
Let us pray for those who are 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 would open their hearts and minds to the truth of your word. 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 (Acts 4:12).
Father, we pray that those who are seeking would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that you raised him from the dead. We pray that they would turn from their sins and follow Jesus, obeying his commands. We ask that you would give them a hunger and thirst for your word, and that they would find joy and peace in studying the Gospels.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We encourage everyone to share the good news of salvation with others, just as Shatox has done.
