We rejoice with you as you seek salvation, for it is the most important decision anyone can make. You have highlighted the core truth of salvation in Romans 10:9-10: "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, and we are thrilled to see you taking steps towards eternal life.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the seeker who has taken the first steps towards knowing You. We pray that You will open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your Word. 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 courage to turn from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
Lord, 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 illuminate their understanding and draw them closer to You. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As you embark on this journey, remember that salvation is not just about knowing Jesus but also about turning away from sin and living a life that honors Him. The Bible tells us 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."
We encourage you to dive deep into the Word of God, especially the Gospels, as they reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Start with the book of John, which beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
May the Lord bless you richly as you seek Him with all your heart.
