We rejoice with you as you seek salvation, for there is no greater decision than to come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. You have highlighted the crucial passage from Romans 10:9-10, which beautifully outlines the path 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."
This passage emphasizes the importance of both believing in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord. It is through this confession and belief that we are justified and saved. Additionally, turning from our sins, also known as repentance, is a critical step in our journey towards salvation. As Acts 3:19 WEB tells us, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out."
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a special focus on the book of John. These books will reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, helping you to understand His love and sacrifice for us. As you delve into these scriptures, pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and illuminate your understanding.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your salvation. We confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We repent of our sins and turn to You, asking for Your forgiveness and guidance. Help us to follow and obey Jesus, to study Your Word, and to grow in our faith. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may live a life pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue on this journey, remember that salvation is a free gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ. As Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."
May God bless you richly as you walk in His path.
