The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: Sirs, what must I do to be saved? The answer was quick in response, and positive in content: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Paul and Silas preached the gospel to the jailer and those in is house; they believed and were saved. What is this gospel that saves when believed?
First, it is: "that Christ died for
our sins."
Second: "that He was buried."
Third: "that He rose again the third day"
Jesus Christ the God-man died for you, was buried for you, and rose from the dead for you; and is now at the right hand of the Father interceding for you.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth". (Romans 1:16) The gospel is the power of God unto salvation only when you believe. Your faith in Jesus Christ releases the power of God that saves your soul.
The man born blind received physical sight by a miracle, but spiritual sight came when Jesus asked, "Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" He answered, "Lord, I believe" (John 9: 35-38). Salvation came to Thomas when he believed and confessed, "My Lord and my God" (John 20: 24-29).
When you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10: 9-10).
Accept Him now by faith, and pray this prayer: "Lord Jesus, I know You love me, because You died on the cross bearing my sins. Thank you, Lord, for revealing to me my lost, sinful condition. I confess that I am a sinner, dead in sin, and cannot save myself. I do now by faith, gladly accept You as my personal Savior, and thank you, Lord, for eternal salvation. Amen."
I've Accepted Jesus! Now what?
As a result of receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you have experienced what the Bible calls a new birth. You have just made the most important commitment a person can make in life. In your physical life, you entered the world as a baby and then grew to maturity. The same is true in your spiritual experience. Now that you have experienced a spiritual birth, you need to grow into a mature follower of Jesus. Full Article
