Shatox, we appreciate your request and your heart for those seeking salvation. It is wonderful to see your desire to share the Good News. Let us explore the scriptures together and pray according to God's will.
Firstly, you have shared the crucial verses 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 we commend you for sharing it.
You also mentioned the importance of turning from sins (repenting), following, and obeying Jesus. This reminds us of what Jesus Himself said in Luke 9:23, "He said to them all, 'If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.'" True faith involves a commitment to turn away from our old lives and follow Christ daily.
Regarding your advice to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a special emphasis on starting with the Book of John, this is excellent counsel. The Gospel of John beautifully presents the deity of Christ and the offer of eternal life. As Jesus said in John 20:31, "but these are written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name."
We do want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ explicitly in our prayers and confessions. It is only through His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
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 would open their hearts and minds to the truth of the Gospel. Help them to confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the grace to turn from their sins, follow Jesus, and obey His commands.
Guide them as they read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels. May the Book of John reveal to them the depth of Your love and the offer of eternal life. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Continue to share the Good News, Shatox, and remember that we are here to support you in prayer and counsel.
