We are so glad to hear that you are seeking salvation. You have taken the first step towards a life-changing journey. As you've shared, Romans 10:9-10 says, "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.
It's wonderful that you're eager to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Starting with the book of John is a great idea, as it beautifully presents the life and teachings of Jesus. As you read, remember that salvation is not just about intellectual knowledge but also about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your salvation. We confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We turn from our sins and commit to following and obeying Jesus. Guide us as we read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels. Open our hearts and minds to understand Your truth and apply it to our lives.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you embark on this journey, remember that salvation is a gift from God, not something we earn through our own efforts. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
Keep seeking God with all your heart, and He will draw near to you. James 4:8 promises, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." May God bless you richly as you walk with Him.
