What Must I Do To Be Saved?

Bro. Don preached from the story of Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail to answer the urgent question, “What must I do to be saved?” He showed that while the world offers many conflicting answers through religion, works, or philosophy, Scripture gives one clear response: salvation comes only by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the midnight prayers and songs of Paul and Silas, the hardened jailer witnessed a testimony unlike anything he had ever seen, and when God shook the prison with an earthquake, his heart was shaken even more deeply by the power and presence of God. Bro. Don emphasized that the jailer’s salvation was not found in ritual, church membership, or outward religion, but in a personal encounter with Christ that produced immediate repentance, compassion, obedience, and public identification with Jesus. He reminded the congregation that many people assume they are saved because of familiarity with church things, yet true salvation is marked by inward transformation through grace alone. The message closed with a strong invitation for every listener to examine whether they have genuinely trusted Christ and to carry a burden for those around them who still need the saving gospel.
