Thank you for reaching out and expressing your desire for salvation. We are overjoyed that you are seeking the path to eternal life through Jesus Christ. The scripture you shared from Romans 10:9-10 is foundational to understanding how to be saved:
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 clearly outlines the steps to salvation: believing in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, and confessing this belief with your mouth. This confession is not just a verbal acknowledgment but a heartfelt commitment to turn from your sins and follow Jesus.
In Acts 4:12 WEB, it is written, "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." This emphasizes the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
We encourage you to read and study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a special recommendation to start with the Book of John. These books will give you a deeper understanding of Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. As you read, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and reveal the truths of God's word to you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for this individual seeking salvation, that You would open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your word. Help them to believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord and that You raised Him from the dead. Give them the courage to confess this belief with their mouth and to turn from their sins.
Guide them as they read and study Your word, especially the Gospels. Reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, and help them to grow in their faith and obedience to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
