We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, as it is the most important decision one can make in life. You have taken a significant step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the path to salvation: "Because 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 passage clearly outlines the steps to salvation: believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, confessing this belief openly, and turning from your sins. This is the essence of the gospel message. As you embark on this journey, it is crucial to understand that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ. 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 read and study 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 presents a clear and powerful testimony of Jesus' divinity and mission. Remember Jesus' words in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
As you grow in your faith, commit to following and obeying Jesus' teachings. This involves turning away from sin and living a life that honors God. In 1 John 1:9, it is written, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We pray for you as you take these steps towards salvation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this individual who is seeking salvation. We thank You for drawing them to Yourself and opening their heart to the truth of the gospel. We pray that they will wholeheartedly believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, confessing this belief openly and turning away from their sins. Guide them as they study Your Word, especially the Gospels, and help them to understand and apply Your teachings to their life. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the strength and wisdom to live a life that honors You. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
