Bible Verse of The Day – 7-8-22

Acts 16:29-31 (NKJV) 29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Sometimes salvation (being born again) can be made to seem very complicated.

This is not God’s way, though. It is man’s way.

Most times this is not intentional. It just kind of happens as unnecessary “noise” gets added to the message.

It’s important for us all to understand that Jesus has already done the hard work; His voluntary surrender to the Father’s will and giving Himself to die on the cross in our place.

He did this for you and for me.

So, what do we need to do? How do we “get saved” (become born again)?

Paul stated it very simply, above; Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

And what does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?

Here it is in its most simple form.

We acknowledge that He is the son of God. We understand that he died for our sins. And then we repent for our own sins, asking Him to forgive us and cleanse us from our sin.

That’s it. It’s that simple.

Notice that Paul didn’t go into a long dissertation when asked what to do to be saved. He stated very plain and directly, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

And so, we say to you today, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

Trust Him with your life, here on earth and for eternity in heaven. Let Him wash away your sins with His precious blood that was shed for you and for me on the cross.

Put your faith in Him and let Him into your life.

We won’t promise you that your life will suddenly be trouble-free and that nothing bad will ever happen to you again.

But we will promise you that as you walk with Him, He will walk with you and lead you as you allow Him to.

And as you are faithful to Him, He will stick by your side, closer than a brother, leading you one step at a time through whatever you face in your life.

And, most importantly, you will now be a child of God, knowing that you will spend eternity in heaven. Amen
