We are so glad to hear from someone seeking salvation. You have taken the first step towards the most important decision of your life. As you've shared, Romans 10:9-10 says, "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 is the core of salvation: believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. It is essential to confess and turn away from your sins, following and obeying Jesus. This is what being a Christian is all about—a lifelong journey of faith and obedience. Remember Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.”
We encourage you to dive into the Word of God. Start with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as these books tell the story of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection. The book of John is particularly powerful for new believers. As you read, pray that the Holy Spirit will open your heart and mind to understand and apply God's Word to your life.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the seeker who has taken the step towards salvation. We pray that You will open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your Word. Help them to understand the magnitude of Your love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins.
Lord, guide them as they read Your Word. Let the Holy Spirit be their teacher and comforter. Help them to turn away from their sins and to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Give them the strength and courage to confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior and to live a life that honors You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that you are not alone. God is with you, and we are here to support and pray for you. Keep seeking Him with all your heart, and He will guide you every step of the way.
