Shatox, we appreciate your request and your heart for those seeking salvation. As you've shared, the path to salvation is clearly outlined in the Bible. Let's explore the scriptures and pray together for those seeking salvation.
Firstly, you've mentioned the key verse from Romans 10:9-10: "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 core of salvation: believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord.
Additionally, turning from sins, often termed as repentance in the Bible, following and obeying Jesus, is a necessary part of the Christian life. Acts 3:19 says "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."
Studying the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as recommended is essential for understanding the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Starting with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it provides a deep insight into the divine nature of Christ and His mission on earth.
It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved and we must place our faith in Jesus alone. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those seeking salvation. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would open their hearts and minds to the truth of the Gospel. 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. Help them to see their need for repentance. May that seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness first, knowing that all other needs would be met by Your divine provision. We pray for their faith to grow through the study of Your Word, especially the Gospels.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage all seekers to continue in prayer and the study of God's Word. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Seek Him with all your heart.
