What must I do to be saved

" And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. ²⁸ But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”
  Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 
And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
  So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:27-31)

This was Paul's answer to the trembling jailer's question: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" (v. 30). To our modern sophisticated ears, such terms as being "saved" may sound strange and out dated, but there is no more accurate term than this to describe the miracle that happens when a person becomes a redeemed by he blood of the lamb and is "born again."

Before being saved, he is under God's condemnation because of sin, destined for hell; but when he believes on the Messiah (the Christ), he is "saved from wrath through him" (Romans 5:9). Not only is he saved from eternal wrath, he is saved to eternal life. Christ is "able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).

This great salvation is not achieved by good works of any kind or number, "for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5).

Although being saved is God's gift to man, its cost was infinite to Christ. "If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life" (Romans 5:10).

The price of our salvation was the shed blood of Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and the greatest of all sins--the one for which there is no forgiveness--is that of rejecting Him. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). He is our great redeemer our Savior, and only He can save, he did what no man could have or will ever be able to do! He paid the kinsmen redeemers debt in full.   Thank you !!!! Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for the price you paid for a sinner like me.
