| Salvation is such a simple act of faith, and yet how many refuse to take that step! The gospel is not complicated nor is the way of blessing hard to find. Long ago, the warden in charge of the prisoners in Philippi asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). He was given one of the simplest answers possible: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). The jailor did receive the message with the same simplicity in which it was given, and received Christ as his Savior. The Bible tells us that he “rejoiced, believing in God” (verse 34). Here is another verse that shows how simple salvation really is: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). |
