Ac16

When asked, "What must I do to be saved?", Paul replied, "Believe on the Lord Jesus." This is the gospel in its simplest form. It is not what you "do" that saves you, it is WHO you place your faith in!

The context of this story is amazing. Paul and Silas had just been beaten and jailed for preaching the gospel. A miracle occurred and the prison was opened so they could go free. The jailor, fearing he would be brutally killed by the Romans, was about to take his own life. Paul and Silas stopped him and, it was at that time, he asked this critical question. He literally was one moment away from eternity when his life and eternity were changed forever! 

Most of us are not about to take our lives out of fear of danger! All of us are in need of salvation. One hundred years of life is short in light of eternity. Don't  wait to trust Christ. Today is the day to believe.
