“‘What must I do to be saved?'” was written on the card I saw lying on the footpath in Commerce Street here in Kaitaia not long ago.

I know the biblical answer, but I am wondering how many people are actually asking that question?

In the Bible we are reading about people who are appointed for eternal life. (Acts 13:48)

In Acts 16:14 the Bible tells us about Lydia and that “The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.”

In John 6:44 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.'”

And this morning in my Bible reading I read this verse, “‘Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.'” And remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking here.

I think the people mentioned above are the people who are asking the question, “What must I do to be saved?”

And we find the answer to the question, “‘What must I do to be saved?'” in the book of Acts chapter 16:31.

There it says, “‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved – you and your household.'”
