In Acts 16 we see Paul and Silas imprisoned after being severely beaten.
God releases them by an earthquake, their chains falling off and the prison doors opening.
Their gaoler is about to kill himself (saving the Romans the trouble) because he thinks all the prisoners have escaped.
Paul calls out "don't harm yourself, we are all here"(v.28)
That causes the gaoler to ask the question, "What must I do to be saved?" (v.30)
Paul and Silas reply, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved."(v.31)
The greek word for "believe" can equally be translated "trust" or "have faith".
Trust that the Lord Jesus, lived, died and rose again...to take out punishment for our sin.
How good is that? Really?
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
