TOPIC: What Must I Do To Be Saved?

Acts 16:30‬‬
And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

*Message*

Every right-thinking human that proceeded from the loins of Adam in every generation would admit to an in-depth feeling of blandness and an undescribable craving to hold on to a salvation stick that can only be extended by an unseen divine deity. Hence, almost every religion in all of history has a penchant for advertising a protocol of salvation that claims to guarantee a ticket to heaven or immunity from eternal damnation.

However, despite all of its fatal damages and activities on different pages of history, religion is weak. Even several most populated religions in the world are merely weak attempts to get to God. And when mankind asks the age-long question, "What must I do to be saved? most major religions simply hand over a book of rules that must be kept to get to heaven.

But in Acts 16, after a series of interesting activities, one of the descendants of the first Adam asked Paul who is already a representative and ambassador of Christ the last Adam, the very same question, "What must I do to be saved?".

*Paul didn't start giving a long list of dos and don'ts, but simply told the truth: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." As far as salvation is concerned, believing in the finished works of Jesus is the root and foundation, as no amount of good works or morals is potent enough to get anyone righteous and acceptable in God's sight.*

*Prayers*
Pray for an encounter with the Lord Jesus for as many out there yet to embrace Him as Lord and Savior.

*Further Reading*
II Corinthians 5:21 ‬‬
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
