We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, and we commend you for turning to the Word of God for guidance. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is a powerful declaration of the path to salvation: "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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
This passage clearly outlines the steps to salvation: believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth. It is essential to understand that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name by which we can be saved, as it is written in Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
We encourage you to continue reading and studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to deepen your understanding of Jesus' life, teachings, and resurrection. Starting with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it beautifully presents the deity and humanity of Christ. Remember, true faith involves not just belief but also repentance—turning away from your sins and committing to follow and obey Jesus.
Let us pray together for your journey to salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who is seeking salvation. We thank You for Your love and mercy, which have drawn them to You. Lord, open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your Word. Grant them the faith to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the courage to confess this belief openly.
Help them to turn away from their sins and to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. 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.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God bless you richly as you walk in faith and obedience.
