We are so glad to hear from someone seeking salvation. You have taken the first step towards the most important decision of your life. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is indeed the pathway 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 and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
First, let's ensure we understand the fullness of this salvation. Believing in Jesus Christ is not just intellectual assent, but a heartfelt conviction that leads to a changed life. As you mentioned, turning and confessing your sins is a crucial part of this process. This means trusting in Jesus to forgive your sins, but it means abandoning a life of sin, submitting yourself to Christ and following Him. Jesus said, "If any man would come after me let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me." A Christian is not just someone who confesses belief in Jesus, but a person with a life that shows they have denied themselves and have submitted to following Christ daily.
We are thrilled to hear you mention you should read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Start with John, and as you read, you will see how Christ is the one that the whole Old Testament was revealing. It is by His name that we are saved. "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB. It is also by His name that we have access to God. We are to pray to God in Jesus name. John 14:13-14 "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." Those who are being saved are "baptized into Christ" by the Holy Spirit. There is only one Spirit that does this and only one body of Christ into which we are baptized. 1 Corinthians 12:13 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.".
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father in Jesus name, we lift up this person seeking salvation. We pray that You will open their heart and mind to fully understand and embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ. May they come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, turning from their sins, submitting themselves to Christ, and following Him for the rest of their days. Help them to understand that this is not just a one-time decision, but a lifelong commitment to follow You, looking to please You and live a life of good works. Guide them as they read Your word, and may the Holy Spirit reveal the truth of the gospel to them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you begin your journey with Christ, consider finding a local church where you can grow in your faith alongside other believers. It is important that the local church believes that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God and that the Holy Spirit is doing His work in them. Also, continue to study the Bible, pray, and seek God's will for your life each day. It is essential for a Christian to have fellowship with other Christians and to know God. It is the only way to know Him is through Jesus Christ.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
