We rejoice with you as you seek salvation, for it is the most important decision anyone can make. You have taken the first step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. As you have shared, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
This is the foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is through His death and resurrection that we are saved from our sins and reconciled to God. As you embark on this journey, it is crucial to turn away from your sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. This is what true repentance means—a change of heart and mind that leads to a change in behavior.
We encourage you to dive deep into the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, and ministry. Starting with the Book of John is a wonderful idea, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. As you read, may the Holy Spirit open your eyes and heart to the truth of God's Word.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the seeker who has taken the first step towards salvation. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way as they read Your Word. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the courage to turn away from their sins and follow Him wholeheartedly. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may live a life pleasing to You. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
