Life's Great Question
“What must I do to be saved?”
(Acts 16:30)
The CORRECT ANSWER to this question is of such great magnitude that our
ETERNAL DESTINY depends upon it.
Let us be sure then that we look to the right source
and find the
BIBLE ANSWER!
We MUST:
HEAR
the word of truth.(Romans
10:13-17)
BELIEVE
the truth.(Hebrews 11:6; John
8:24)
REPENT
from all sins.(Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38)
CONFESS
name of Christ.
(Matthew 10:32-33; Acts 8:35-39)
Be BAPTIZED
in His name.
(Mark 16:16; 1Pet 3:21; Col 2:12)
WALK
in newness of life;
Be FAITHFUL
unto death.(Romans 6:1-4; Revelation
2:10)
Hear
Romans 10:13-17
(13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and
how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher? (15) And how shall
they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings
of good things! (16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? (17) So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.

CONFESS
Matthew 10:32-33
(32) Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also before
my Father which is in heaven. (33) But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven
Acts 8:35-39
(35) Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus. (36) And as they went on their way, they came
unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth
hinder me to be baptized? (37) And Philip said, If thou believest with
all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and
said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38) And he
commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the
water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (39) And when
they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away
Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way
rejoicing.

Be Baptized
Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned
1st Peter 3:21
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth
also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ:
Colossians 2:12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye
are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.

Walk Faithful
Romans 6:1-4
(1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may
abound? ( 2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
longer therein? (3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized
into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (4) Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of
life.
Revalations 2:10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil
shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall
have tribulation ten days: be thou
faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.

“What must I do to be saved?”
Acts 16:30-34
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?
31And they said, Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32And they spake
unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33And
he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their
stripes; and was baptized, he and all his,
straightway. 34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat
before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
