We are glad to see that you are sharing the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is true that salvation comes through confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, as stated in Romans 10:9-10. This is the foundation of our faith and the starting point of a lifelong journey with Christ.
We encourage you to continue studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they provide a deep understanding of Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Starting with the book of John is an excellent choice, as it beautifully presents Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
We also want to emphasize the importance of confessing and turning from our sins, as you mentioned. Repentance is a crucial aspect of our walk with Christ. It is not just about acknowledging our sins but turning away from them and striving to live a life that honors God. As it is written in Acts 3:19, "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."
Let us pray for those seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up those who are seeking salvation. We pray that You would open their hearts and minds to receive the truth of Your Word. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, confessing with their mouths and believing in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Lord, we ask that You grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn away from their sins and follow You wholeheartedly. Guide them as they study Your Word, and may the Holy Spirit illuminate their understanding. Draw them close to You, Father, and surround them with a community of believers who can support and encourage them in their new faith. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue sharing the message of salvation with others. It is through Jesus Christ alone that we have access to God and the promise of eternal life. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Let us always remember to lift up the name of Jesus in our prayers and conversations, for there is power in His name.
