We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, and we want to ensure you understand the biblical path to eternal life. You've shared key scriptures from Romans 10:9-10, which proclaim:
"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. Additionally, turning from your sins, following, and obeying Jesus are crucial steps. We want to emphasize 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!"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person seeking salvation. We pray that You open their heart to fully receive the gospel. Help them to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the strength to turn from their sins, follow, and obey Jesus all the days of their life.
Father, guide them as they read and study Your Word, starting with the Gospel of John. May the Holy Spirit illuminate the scriptures, revealing the truth of Your love and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for our sins.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to dive into the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. As you grow in faith, continue to confess, repent, and obey, trusting that God's grace is sufficient for you. If you have not repented of your sins, please do so immediately. If you have not been baptized, seek out other Christians who can help you do this. We urge you in the future to address Jesus Christ in your prayers, as it is only by His name that we have access to the Father.
