What must I do to be saved?
The short answer
When a frightened man asked this, Paul's answer was strikingly simple: 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.' Salvation is not a reward earned by being good enough; it is a gift received. Turn to Jesus, trust that He died and rose for you, and ask Him to save you. That is the beginning.
It is the most important question a person can ask, and long ago a frightened man asked it of Paul directly. The answer was startlingly simple: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation is not a reward you earn by being good enough, it is a gift you receive. Turn to Jesus, trust that He died and rose for you, and ask Him to save you. That is the beginning.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

Keep seeking
You are welcome to bring your honest questions to The Living Bread, read the Word, ask Simon anything, talk with real believers, and pray, even if you are unsure. Seeking is not the opposite of faith; it is often the beginning of it.
