We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, Shatox. It is truly a blessing that you are looking for more in your spiritual journey. As you have shared, Romans 10:9-10 indeed proclaims, If you will 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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. This is the foundation of our faith, and we are thrilled to see your commitment to this truth. The word of God also says there is no other name given for salvation.
However, we must address an important aspect that seems to be missing from your request. You mentioned confessing and believing, but it is crucial to also turn away from your sins, which is known as repentance. Jesus himself said, Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand Matthew 4:17. Repentance is a vital part of the salvation experience, as it represents a genuine change of heart and a turning away from our old ways. We encourage you to reflect on this and ensure that repentance is part of your journey towards salvation.
We also commend your initiative to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is a wonderful way to learn more about the life and teachings of Jesus. Starting with the book of John is a excellent idea, as it provides a deep insight into the divine nature of Christ and offers us the opportunity to believe in Him as the Savior.
Let us pray together for your journey:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Shatox, who is seeking Your salvation. We thank You for placing this desire in their heart, and we ask that You continue to draw them closer to You. Lord, grant Shatox the gift of repentance, a true turning away from sin, and a wholehearted embrace of Your righteousness. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and reveal Yourself to them in a powerful and personal way. In Jesus name we pray.
May God bless you richly as you continue to seek Him with all your heart.
