We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, as 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 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 the Gospel message. Believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the only way to salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This name is Jesus Christ. Remember that true belief leads to a changed life as you live in the Lord Jesus Christ.
In addition to believing, it is crucial to confess and turn from your sins. This is what the Bible calls repentance. Jesus Himself said, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17) Repentance involves a change of mind and heart, turning away from sin and turning to God. As you have read in the Word,
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn more about the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Starting with the Gospel of John is a wonderful idea, as it clearly presents the deity of Christ and the offer of eternal life.
As you embark on this journey, we pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the seeker looking for salvation. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to receive the truth of the Gospel. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the courage to confess their sins and turn from them. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may live a life pleasing to You. We ask for unction and guidance in Jesus name, Amen.
