We are so glad to hear from someone seeking salvation. You've taken the first step towards the most important decision you will ever make. The verses from Romans 10:9-10 in the World English Bible that you shared are indeed the path to salvation:
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, let's understand what it means to confess Jesus as Lord. This means acknowledging that He is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that He was resurrected on the third day, victorious over death. This confession is not just about saying the words, but about believing them deeply in your heart.
Believing that God raised Him from the dead is about faith. It's about trusting that God has the power to save us from our sins and give us eternal life. It's about turning away from your sins and choosing to follow and obey Jesus. He died so that we might live. All we must do is believe and follow. We also believe in Jesus' name. It is stated in John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Also, reading and studying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is a wonderful way to learn more about Jesus and His teachings. We would advise starting with the Gospel of John, just as you suggested. It's a beautiful account of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and it's filled with His teachings about love, forgiveness, and eternal life.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with a seeking heart. We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We turn from our sins and choose to follow Jesus, to obey Him, and to live for Him. We ask that You fill this soul with Your Holy Spirit, guide them in Your truth, and help them to grow in their new faith.
In Jesus' precious and holy name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, be baptized, and join a community of believers. And always remember, salvation is just the beginning of a life-long journey with God. Keep reading His Word, praying, and seeking His will for your life. He has a wonderful plan for you.
