A prison keeper in the ancient Greek city
of Philippi once asked two of his prisoners the most important question in
life: “What must I do to be saved?”
The two prisoners, whose names were Paul
and Silas, knew the answer: “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
The prison keeper, who is sometimes
called the Philippian jailer, did believe in Jesus; and he was
saved. It is
probable that he then turned to Paul and Silas and asked,
“What shall I do now?”
And they must have told him.
For within a few hours he had taken several of the most
important first steps that a new Christian should take.
Perhaps you, too, have just trusted Jesus
Christ as your Savior. Perhaps
you are asking, “What shall I do now?”
Let me give you ten simple first steps
for new believers, and your journey to heaven will take on a new
excitement and purpose.
