We are so glad to hear from someone seeking salvation. You've taken the first important step by reaching out. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the path to salvation: "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."
Firstly, we want to commend you for your desire to follow Jesus.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You with a humble heart, lifting up this person who is seeking Your face. We pray that You will reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, that they will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Grant them the faith to believe in Your resurrection power and the courage to confess Jesus as Lord.
As they read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we ask that Your Holy Spirit will guide them into all truth. Give them a hunger and thirst for Your Word, and a heart that is ready to obey and follow Jesus.
We also pray that You will convict them of any sin in their life, and grant them the strength to turn away from it.
that they may be saved.
Father, we know that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. So, we ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."
Remember, it is not just about intellectual belief, but also a heartfelt trust in Jesus and His resurrection.
May your reading and study of the Gospels bring you closer to Him. And may your confession of faith be accompanied by a commitment to follow and obey Him, turning away from any past sins.
We encourage you to start your reading in the book of John, just as you've been advised. It's a beautiful account of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. As you read, may you encounter the love of God and find salvation in His Son.
If you have not repented of your sins, please designate some time to get alone with God and ask him to reveal any sins that you have committed against him. Then, turn away from them with your whole heart.
Since you are looking for salvation, we expect you are not a Christian Believer at this point. Be sure to find a good Bible believing church. You may need to visit several times to know if it is a good Bible believing church. You will need to discern this by spending some time with them. Be sure to get baptized in water and be filled with the Holy Spirit as outlined in the book of Acts.
We pray God will guide you through this journey. We are here to support you and pray for you.
