Acts 16:30-31 (NKJV) 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...
How is a person saved? What does it take for us to be redeemed from our sins? What must we do to go from death to eternal life?
There have undoubtedly been reports, books and theses written on this topic numbering in the millions over the last two thousand years. It is a topic of endless debate, largely due to human logic and overthinking.
The salvation of man is incredibly simple, yet profoundly deep beyond human understanding.
But to break it down, we must look at its most basic truth.
There are many verses throughout scripture that address what we must do to inherit eternal life and become a child of God.
The complication comes when we ask several different people, and we get a different or varied answer from each of them.
God’s word has told us plainly what we must do to be saved.
The most straight-forward answer can be found in the book of Acts; Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
That one phrase sums it up succinctly, with no fluff, no human interjection, and no debate.
But man seems to be bent on complicating it by implying some or all the following “requirements”;
You must pray "the sinner’s prayer".
You must walk the aisle at an altar call.
You must be baptized.
You must publicly confess that you have become a Christian.
And the list goes on ad nauseum.
But not one of these things is truly required.
Let’s look more closely at this tomorrow.
