We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, and we commend you for turning to the Word of God for guidance. You have highlighted the core verse from Romans 10:9-10, which beautifully illustrates the path 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."
This is the foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and confessing this belief openly. Salvation is not just about acknowledging Jesus but also about turning away from our sins and following Him wholeheartedly. As it is written in Acts 3:19, "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."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your love and mercy. We pray for those seeking salvation, that they may confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the courage to turn from their sins and follow Jesus, obeying His commandments. Guide them as they read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, especially starting with the Book of John. May Your Holy Spirit fill them with wisdom, understanding, and a deep love for Your Word.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you embark on this journey, remember that salvation is a gift from God, not earned through our own efforts. It is by grace we have been saved, through faith—and this is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
May you find peace, joy, and eternal life in Jesus Christ.
