This We Believe
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
A prison keeper in the ancient Greek city of Philippi once asked two of his prisoners, "What must I do to be saved?" The two prisoners, Paul and Silas, knew the answer. In the Bible, in the book of Acts, chapter 16, verse 31, the answer Paul and Silas gave is recorded: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."
The Apostle Paul would later write to the church at Rome, "... that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Being saved is as simple as believing Jesus Christ is your Savior.
