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 tells us: "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 granted eternal life. As you embark on this journey, it is crucial to confess and turn away from your sins, seeking forgiveness and a new life in Christ.
We encourage you to dive deeply into the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, and ministry. Starting with the Book of John is an excellent choice, as it beautifully unfolds the love and grace of Jesus Christ. As you read and study, let the Holy Spirit guide you and reveal the truths of God's Word to you.
Let us pray together for your journey to salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this dear soul who seeks salvation and a deeper understanding of Your love and grace. We thank You for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again, granting us eternal life. Lord, we ask that You open the eyes and heart of this individual to 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.
Father, guide them as they read and study the Gospels, revealing Yourself to them in a powerful and personal way. Help them to turn away from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the strength and wisdom to live a life that honors You.
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 following Jesus and growing in your faith. Stay rooted in the Word of God, surround yourself with fellow believers, and seek to obey Jesus in all areas of your life. May the Lord bless you richly as you walk with Him.
