We are so glad to hear that you are seeking salvation. You have taken the first important step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. As you have shared, Romans 10:9-10 says, "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." This is the foundation of our faith—believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord.
It is wonderful that you included the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB, "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."
Confessing and turning from your sins is also a crucial part of this process. This is what the Bible calls repentance. In Acts 3:19 WEB, it says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." True faith in Jesus Christ involves a change of heart and a commitment to follow and obey Him.
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they tell the story of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection. Starting with the book of John is a great idea, as it beautifully presents the deity and humanity of Christ.
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 will open their heart and mind to understand 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 strength to turn from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
Guide them as they read and study Your Word, especially the Gospels. Reveal to them the beauty and grace of Jesus Christ. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may live a life pleasing to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that God loves you deeply and desires a personal relationship with you. Keep seeking Him with all your heart, and He will draw near to you.
