For those who are looking for salvation.. Romans 10.9-10.. 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. Also confess and turn from your sins. Follow and obey Jesus Amen.. Read and study, Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John in the bible.. Start In the book of John.
 
We rejoice with you in the truth of Romans 10:9-10, which declares, "that if you will 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." This is the foundation of our faith, the glorious truth that salvation is found in no other name but Jesus Christ. There is no other way to the Father, no other path to eternal life, and no other means of forgiveness for our sins. As Acts 4:12 tells us, "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."

We must also emphasize the importance of repentance, as you rightly mentioned. True faith in Christ is not merely intellectual assent but a turning away from sin and a surrendering of our lives to Him. Jesus Himself began His ministry with the call, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). Repentance is not a one-time act but a daily posture of humility and obedience before God. As 1 John 1:9 assures us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, is wise. These books reveal the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the very heart of the Gospel. We especially agree that starting in the book of John is beneficial, as it so clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to eternal life. John 20:31 states, "but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name."

Let us pray together for those seeking salvation:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We lift up those who are searching for truth, for meaning, for forgiveness, and for eternal life. Lord, open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way to You. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word and to respond in faith. Help them to confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and to believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. Father, convict them of their sins and lead them to genuine repentance, that they may turn away from darkness and walk in the light of Your love.

We pray that they would not delay in surrendering their lives to You, for we do not know what tomorrow holds. May they experience the peace and joy that comes from being reconciled to You. Surround them with believers who will encourage and disciple them in their newfound faith. Give them a hunger for Your Word and a desire to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. We ask all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

To those reading this who have not yet made this decision, we urge you not to wait. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:2, "For he says, 'At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.' Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation." Today is the day to turn to Jesus. Confess your sins, believe in Him, and commit your life to following Him. If you have made this decision, we rejoice with you! Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, be baptized as a public declaration of your commitment to Christ, and find fellowship with other believers.

May the Lord bless you and keep you as you walk in His truth.
 
Thank you for lifting up everyone who is searching for salvation. The heart of your post, confessing Jesus as Lord and believing God raised Him from the dead, points straight to the simple, life-changing truth of the gospel. We’re grateful you’ve brought this before the community, and we stand with you in prayer for every person who is hungry to know Christ.

Salvation isn’t just a one-time decision made in a moment of strong emotion; it’s a whole-person turning toward a Person. Faith is a steady confidence in Jesus’ trustworthiness, not a fleeting feeling. When we truly believe that God raised Him from the dead, that resurrection becomes the anchor for everything else, our hope, our forgiveness, our power to turn from sin and follow Him with an undivided heart. It also means we don’t have to get ourselves cleaned up before we come; we come as we are, and He begins the work of making us new.

If you or someone you know is at the starting line, reading the Gospel of John is a wonderful next step. Consider reading it aloud with someone else, maybe over coffee or a phone call, just a chapter at a time, listening for who Jesus is and what He says to those who seek Him. There’s no rush; the Holy Spirit meets us right where we are, even in our questions.

Lord Jesus, we pray for every person looking for salvation right now. You promised that anyone who comes to You will never be cast out. Quiet their fears, stir hope in their hearts, and draw them into the reality of Your resurrection life. Lead them to confess You openly and to know the freedom of sins forgiven. Thank You for making a way home to the Father. Amen.
 
It is a hopeful sign when souls are stirred to seek the way of life, and the passage you cite from Romans ten is indeed a clear lamp upon the path. Yet let us take care that we do not snatch at the confession with the mouth while the heart remains a stranger to that vital work which alone can make the confession true. A man may rehearse the creed and still be lost if the inward parts are not renewed. True faith and true repentance are born together and live together; you shall never find a living faith that is not wedded to a hearty sorrow for sin, nor a repentance that is acceptable to God which does not lean its whole weight upon the finished work of Christ. Do not make a Christ out of your own repenting, nor a savior out of your own confessing. Salvation is of the Lord from first to last. Look away from the strength of your grip to the object of your faith. Christ Jesus crucified and risen, He is all your righteousness, all your hope.

Let your repentance be such as gives God the glory. There is a carnal sorrow which is merely the horror of the soul at the sight of judgment, and it leaves the heart as hard as ever. But the repentance which the Spirit works makes a man loathe the sin itself because it is an offence against infinite love. This sweet grace does not end at the wicket gate; it travels with you every step of the pilgrimage. You will repent as long as you believe, and you will believe as long as you repent. The least degree of sincere faith saves, even when it trembles like a little child, if it looks only to Jesus. The weakest faith that touches His hem is true faith, and it is the gift of God. But see that your faith is not a mere parrot cry, taken up because others are making a profession. It must be your own soul coming into conscious contact with your own Redeemer. With the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and then with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The order is fixed. The hidden root must send up the visible shoot, or else the leaf is but painted and will soon wither.

Do not be distressed if you cannot weep as you would, or if your faith seems small. Have you faith enough to be nothing, that Christ may be everything? That is faith indeed. Rest upon Jesus Christ crucified, and not upon your prayers, your tears, your Bible reading, or your turning from sin. All these are precious fruits, but the tree upon which they grow is Christ Himself, apprehended by a simple, Spirit-wrought trust. Read the Evangelists, as you say, especially the Gospel of John, that you may see the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Gaze upon Him until your heart burns, and your eyes run over, and your tongue is loosed to speak of what you have seen. That will be the best confession.
 
Father, please meet deepest spiritual, physical, emotional, financial needs according to Your Will and timing in Jesus Name Amen
"May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." Numbers 6:24-26
