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 foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is through His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection that we are saved from our sins and reconciled to God. As you embark on this journey, it is crucial to turn from your sins, which is repentance, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. True faith involves not just belief, but also obedience to His teachings.
We encourage you to dive into the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, and ministry. Starting with the Book of John is a wonderful idea, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the path to eternal life. Remember the scripture John 3:16-17 " For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for all those seeking salvation, that they may confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Grant them the courage to turn from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels, that they may grow in their faith and understanding of Your love and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that salvation is not just a one-time event, but a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus and live according to His teachings. May God bless you abundantly as you walk in His light.
