Acts 16:30,31‐The question was asked in Acts 16:30‐WHAT MUST
I DO TO BE SAVED?
God′s Word answers this clearly.
- Acts 16:31‐It is written: BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
- Eph 2:8,9‐FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH;
AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: Faith can only come as a result of hearing or reading God’s Word‐Ro 10:17.
- A person must repent. It is written: Luke 13:3‐I TELL YOU…EXCEPT
YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.
- ASK for God’s forgiveness and mercy. Humble yourself for GOD
RESISTS THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE‐Ja 4:6. Call on the name of the Lord‐Acts 2:21.
- After believing on Jesus Christ as your only hope of salvation
and repenting of your sins, you are commanded to be baptized by full immersion. For it is written: Acts 2:38‐
REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU…
Ro 6:4‐THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM, or buried in the water.
- Finally, we are to fear God and obey His Word. For it is written: Pv 3:7‐BE NOT WISE IN THINE OWN EYES: FEAR
THE LORD, AND DEPART FROM EVIL. GOD IS GREATLY TO BE FEARED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE SAINTS‐Ps 89:7.
Jesus learned obedience by the things which He suffered. So all that follow Him also must learn to obey the
Scriptures. Jesus said, If ye love me, keep my commandments‐Jn 14:15.
If you are willing to humble yourself and repent, you can call on the name of the Lord right now.
Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe you are the Son of God and died
for my sins on the cross. Forgive all of my sins. Lord, have mercy on me a sinner. Thank you for hearing my prayer. I ask it in the
name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
If you asked Jesus Christ, Who is come in the flesh, to save you, begin reading and obeying God’s Word.
Find a good, Bible‐believing church and be baptized by full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost‐ref Mt 28:19. Your emails are welcome.
Begin reading God’s Word faithfully every day, as if it was more
important to you than even the food you put into your mouth. Suggestion: Read the Gospel of John 3 times, and then the entire
New Testament 3 times. Afterward, begin in Genesis and read the entire Bible. Read at least 5 chapters a day.
Yes, there is much you will not understand in the beginning. Do not let that stop you or discourage you.
All go through this. Be faithful in your reading and obey those things that you do understand.
And may God bless you.

- Jn 7:39‐(BUT THIS SPAKE HE OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE: FOR THE HOLY GHOST WAS NOT YET GIVEN; BECAUSE THAT JESUS WAS NOT YET GLORIFIED.)

- Acts 2:37,38‐NOW WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY WERE PRICKED IN THEIR HEART, AND SAID UNTO PETER AND TO THE REST OF THE APOSTLES, MEN AND BRETHREN, WHAT SHALL WE DO?

- Mt 28:19,20‐GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. AMEN.
- Acts 5:32‐AND WE ARE HIS WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS; AND SO IS ALSO THE HOLY GHOST, WHOM GOD HATH GIVEN TO THEM THAT OBEY HIM.
