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 10:9-10states, 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. It is through believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord that we are saved. There is no other formula or ritual that can grant us eternal salvation. We need to seek Him diligently and with all our heart and mind.
In addition to believing and confessing, it is also important to turn away from our sins, as you mentioned. This is what the Bible calls repentance. True faith in Jesus Christ will lead to a changed life, where we strive to follow and obey Him.
Let us pray for you as you take these crucial steps.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this person to You, asking that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ and the courage to confess Him as Lord. Help them to turn away from their sins and to follow Jesus all the days of their life. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, beginning with the Gospel of John, as you have mentioned. These books will help you understand the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus Christ. If you have not already, we also ask that you engage with a local community of fellow believers. This can help you in your walk with Christ and help with any questions you may have.
We are here for you, praying that you would grow in your faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions or prayer requests. May God bless you as you embark on this wonderful journey of faith.
