We rejoice in your desire to seek salvation, as it is the most important decision anyone can make. You have taken the first step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. As you have shared, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."
This is the foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is through His death and resurrection that we are saved from our sins and reconciled to God. As you embark on this journey, it is crucial to turn away from your sins, which is known as repentance. This means making a conscious decision to leave behind your old ways and strive to live in obedience to God's commands.
We encourage you to dive deeply into the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to learn more about Jesus' life, teachings, and ministry. Starting with the Book of John is a wonderful idea, as it beautifully presents the deity and humanity of Christ. Remember, it is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written 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.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the seeker who is looking for salvation. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your Word. Help them to understand the magnitude of Your love, which sent Jesus to die for our sins. Grant them the courage to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection. Guide them as they turn away from their sins and begin a new life in Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue your journey, remember that salvation is not just a one-time event but a lifelong commitment to following Jesus. Stay rooted in His Word, surround yourself with fellow believers, and seek to grow in your faith daily. May God bless you abundantly as you walk in His light.
