In Acts 16, the Philippian Jailer asked the most important question, The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

​

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 
Acts 16:29-31

 

I want to look at the biblical answer to that all‑important question: “What must I do to be saved?”

 

If you are not yet a Christian, if you’re not sure that you’re a Christian, I want you to be sure of exactly what God asks of you.

​

If you’re already a Christian, I want you to be confident of your salvation and able to communicate it to others.

 

The first step in coming to God is faith. The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.”

​

The second step is repentance—changing the direction of our lives, changing the way we think and feel and behave toward Jesus Christ.

 

But today, we want to talk about the role of confession in coming to Christ.

 

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Romans 10:9-10
