We rejoice with you as you seek salvation. The Bible tells us that God wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Let us share the good news with you from Romans 10:9-10, "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."
First, we want to commend you for including Jesus in your request. It is only by his name that we can be saved and as you mentioned confessing and turning from sin, this is called repentance. We also agree with your encouragement to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a special start in the book of John. The Gospels reveal the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, providing a clear path to salvation.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this individual seeking salvation. We pray that You will open their heart and mind to receive 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. Grant them the grace to repent of their sins and turn to You. Guide them as they read and study the Gospels, revealing the love and salvation found in Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God with all your heart. Draw near to Jesus, who said "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will in no way cast out." from John 6:37.
