What Must I Do To Be Saved?

“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:30-31 KJV)

Today’s Reading: Acts 16:16-341

Today, we will be sharing on one of the most important truths in the word of God: what each one of us must do to be saved.

Indeed, the end of all things is drawing to a close. Time and tide is waiting for no man. Soon and very soon we shall all die and the reality of salvation shall dawn on us. We shall all rise out of the dead, if we happen to die before His second coming.

When we rise from the dead, some will rise to eternal peace and others to eternal retribution. If a man or woman dies without Christ, he or she will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire (See Revelations 19:20, Revelations 20:10, Revelations 20: 14-15).

What then must we do to escape the pain that will come upon the earth?  Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shall be saved. This is the only way to escape the coming judgement. The big difference is your faith in Jesus Christ.

Going to church cannot save you, serving in missions cannot save you, being the son or spouse of the pastor cannot save you, casting out devils cannot save you. There is only one step to salvation: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved.

This is the single thing you must do to be saved. Please, remember that if you die without Christ, you will perish without Christ. Believe that He died in your place so that you might live in eternal peace. Amen!

Today’s Prayer

Dear Father, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, I declare that Jesus is Your Son Who died in my place and on the third day, You raised Him from the dead.

I accept this act of love in faith. From today, I will sow this faith and nature it to fruitfulness.

Amen!

1. Acts 16:16-34 (KJV): And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. ↩︎
