What should be done ?

What must I do to be saved ? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your family. Acts of the Apostles 16:30-31

A violent earthquake had shaken the prison of Philippi, a city in northern Greece. Paul and Silas are locked up there for having denounced the scandal of those who got rich thanks to the occult sciences.

Great opportunity for the prisoners to escape : but they are all there. Paul and Silas reassure the distraught guard and allow him to ask the vital question.

What should I do... ? Do I have to do something special, do a good work?

... to be saved ? My career and my future are at stake. Everything is falling apart around me. I'm lost ; I cannot get out of this situation unscathed.

The prison guard had to courageously admit that he was on the wrong track and ask for the path that leads to salvation. Paul's answer to this question is unambiguous.

Believe... By an act of faith, simply accept into your life the One who alone can transform it and save you. Trust him.

... to the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved and your family. There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. (Acts of the Apostles 4:12)

It is a matter of the heart and of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again for our justification.
