Acts 16:30-31 “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.”

That was a very important question asked by the Roman jailer that day and still is the most important question that anyone can ask, “What must I do to be saved?”

The answer that Paul gave was very clear, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house”. That’s how simple it really is!

You must realize that you are separated from God.

Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear you.”

God has provided a way, the only way to God, Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

1^st Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”

1^st Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”

Christ died for our sins, and was raised from the dead so that we might be justified by faith in Him. (Romans 4:24-25)

God’s Word is clear! Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me”

Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Many try to earn or teach other ways to earn their Salvation other than accepting Jesus and what he did on the Cross at Calvary. Many may also think that they can be saved by doing good deeds, just going to church or by being baptized in water but the Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” “Not of works, lest any man should boast”

No matter where you are or what you have done in the past, when you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart the Lord Jesus Christ you are saved.

A simple prayer that you can pray:

Dear Lord, I come to you today as a sinner.  I believe you died for me on the Cross at Calvary and that you were raised from the dead and ascended into Heaven. I believe you are coming back one day. Forgive my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood and come into my heart. I accept You as my Saviour, my Lord, and my God. I am Yours, and I will serve You and follow You the rest of my life.  Your word says that, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I am calling now Lord and I believe that I am now saved.

That’s it! Simply by asking God to forgive your sins, accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of your life, believing on what he did at the Cross, and continuing to follow Him as long as you live, you are saved.
