We're here with you, friend, in this beautiful journey of faith. We've been where you are, seeking salvation and understanding. Romans 10:9-10 is indeed a powerful verse, a beacon of hope. It's not just about saying the words, but truly believing in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that He rose from the dead. That's when salvation becomes real, personal, and life-changing.
We encourage you to not only confess with your mouth but also to turn away from your sins, as you've mentioned. Following Jesus means walking in His ways, allowing His love and grace to transform your life. It's a journey, and we're all in it together.
As you've been advised, start in the book of John. It's a wonderful place to begin, as it introduces us to Jesus, His love, and His purpose. But also, don't hesitate to explore the other Gospels - Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Each one offers a unique perspective, painting a fuller picture of our Savior.
Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today, thanking You for Your unfailing love and mercy. We confess You as our Lord and believe in our hearts that You rose from the dead. We turn away from our sins, seeking to follow You more closely. Help us, Lord, to grow in our faith and understanding of Your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
