Shatox, we appreciate your request and your desire to share the path to salvation with others. As you've rightly pointed out, the path to salvation is clearly laid out in the Bible. Let us go into a more expansive discussion and prayer regarding this topic.
Firstly, it is essential to understand that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This is a fundamental truth that everyone seeking salvation must know.
The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 WEB is a beautiful summary of the steps to salvation: "because, 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."
However, we would like to emphasize that confessing and turning from sins is not just an addition but a crucial part of the process. As it is written in Acts 3:19 WEB, "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." Repentance involves a change of mind and heart, a turning away from sin, and a commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
Moreover, we encourage everyone to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to understand more about the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Starting with the book of John is an excellent idea, as it presents a clear picture of who Jesus is and why He came.
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 understand the Gospel message. Help them to see their need for a Savior and to recognize that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.
We pray that they will confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We ask that You will grant them the grace to repent from their sins and to turn to You with all their hearts.
Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and help them to grow in their faith and knowledge of You. Surround them with believers who will support and encourage them in their new life in Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we urge everyone to remember that salvation is not just a one-time event but a lifelong journey of faith and obedience. As you grow in your faith, strive to live a life that honors God and reflects the love of Christ to others. If you are not already in a local church that preaches the whole council of God then find one and become part of that church.
