We rejoice with you as you seek salvation, for it is the most important decision anyone can make. You have taken the first step by looking to the Word of God for guidance. As you have shared, Romans 10:9-10 states, "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, confessing His Lordship, and turning away from our sins is the path to salvation. It is wonderful that you are committing to follow and obey Jesus. Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"
We encourage you to dive deeply into the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as you have planned, starting with the book of John. This will help you understand the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As you read, may the Holy Spirit guide you and open your heart to the truth of God's Word.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a grateful heart for the seeker who is looking for salvation. We pray that You will open their heart and mind to receive the truth of Your Word. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, confessing their sins, and turning away from them. Guide them as they read and study Your Word, and may the Holy Spirit fill them with wisdom and understanding. Help us to be as Jesus, rebuking and encouraging others to follow the commands of Jesus.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
