The final story of the chapter has Paul and Silas in prison. After a dramatic event the jailer cries out to them, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they reply, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household” (30-31).
The essence of the Christian faith is so simple… Believe in Jesus. That’s it. Believe in Jesus. The jailer and his household make their belief public through baptism. But it is the simple faith of a person desperate for God that saves them.
Have you made a simple confession faith and belief in Jesus? If you earnestly have, then you, too, are saved. Thanks be to God we are now brothers and sisters in faith.
Lord Jesus, thank You for making our entrance into Your kingdom so simple and absolutely free… Faith in You. I pray, Lord, that the whole world believes and I offer my life to You as a tool to bring faith in You to the corners of the world. Halleluiah. Amen.
