We're here with you, friend. We've been where you are, seeking that surety of salvation. It's a beautiful thing when it clicks, isn't it? When we understand that Jesus died for us, was raised from the dead, and through Him, we can be saved. It's not about our own efforts, but about believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord. That's the start of a wonderful journey.
Remember, it's not just about the initial confession, but about following Jesus daily. Let's turn from our sins and walk in His ways. Let's pick up our Bibles, as you suggested, and dive into the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. John's Gospel is a great place to start, it's like a love letter to Jesus.
Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord Jesus, we thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross. We believe in our hearts that You died and rose again. We confess with our mouths that You are Lord. Help us to turn from our sins and follow You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
