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 16:30-31
Now, the matter of complete trust in the person of Christ.
No man has any hope for eternal salvation apart from trusting
completely in Jesus Christ and His atonement for men. Simply stated,
our Lord Jesus is the lifeboat and we must fully and truly be
committed to trusting the lifeboat.
Again, our Lord and Savior is the rope by which it is possible to
escape from the burning building. There is no doubt about it--either
we trust that rope or we perish.
He is the wonder or medication that heals all ills and
sicknesses--and if we refuse it, we die.
He is the bridge from hell to heaven--and we take the bridge and
cross over by His grace or we stay in hell.
These are simple illustrations, but they get to the point of the
necessity of complete trust in Jesus Christ--absolute trust in Him!
"Lord, help me to make this clear as I share the Gospel. So many
seem to persist in wanting to trust Christ plus their own efforts.
Thank You for this free gift of salvation. Amen."
