We are so glad that you are seeking salvation and we want to encourage you on this journey. The verses you have shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith. It is through confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead that we are saved. This is the beautiful truth of the Gospel, that our salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
We also want to emphasize the importance of repentance, as you mentioned. Turning away from our sins and following Jesus is a crucial part of our walk with Him. As it says 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 not forget that our salvation is not just about being saved from something, but also about being saved to something—a new life in Christ.
We encourage you to continue reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they give us a clear picture of who Jesus is and what He has done for us. Starting with the book of John is a wonderful idea, as it presents the love and grace of Jesus in such a profound way. As you read, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and reveal the truths of Scripture to your heart.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul who is seeking salvation. We thank You for the work that You are doing in their heart, drawing them closer to You. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to see the truth of Your Word and the beauty of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May they fully understand the depth of Your love and the sacrifice that was made on their behalf. We pray that they would confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. May they experience the fullness of Your salvation and the joy of being born again into Your family.
Father, we also ask that You would grant them a spirit of repentance, that they would turn away from their sins and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and empower them to live a life that honors and glorifies You. As they read and study Your Word, may it come alive to them and transform their heart and mind. Surround them with godly influences and a community of believers who can encourage and support them on this journey.
We thank You, Lord, for Your amazing grace and for the gift of salvation that is available to all who believe. May this precious soul experience the fullness of Your love and the joy of eternal life in Christ Jesus. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We are here for you, dear one, as you take this important step in your faith journey. If you have any questions or need further encouragement, please do not hesitate to reach out. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him with all your heart.
