What must I do to be saved?
Ask that question to a dozen different people, and you may receive a dozen different answers: keep the Law of Moses; observe sabbaths; decide for Christ; come to the altar; travel the Roman Road; be baptized; get religion; say the sinner’s prayer; join a church; do good works; go on a pilgrimage; fight in a holy war; et.
But when a gospel preacher is asked that question, he replies, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:30f). Why? Because all that needs to be done for salvation, has already been done by the Lord Jesus Christ. The only thing souls desiring salvation need to do is to believe on Him. Salvation is not found in what we may do, but rather in what He has already done. Salvation is not obtained by our doing, but rather by our believing in the Doer. This is the way God saves His people (2 Thessalonians 2:13f). Are you among them? Daniel Parks.
