‘…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved...’ Acts 16:31 By putting your trust in Christ, your soul will be saved and your life will be changed for thebetter. The testimonies that this is so, exists in hundreds of thousands of famous people such as William Gladstone, one of Britain’s greatest Prime Ministers, whose life was transformed by God. Abraham Lincoln tells us in his letters that at Gettysburg, the day he delivered his famous address, he too, was born again of God’s Spirit. Martin Luther had been exceedingly religious, even as Nicodemus was, and yet had known nothing of the new birth. But all that changed when he discovered these words in scripture: ‘…The just shall live by faith’ (Romans 1:17 NKJV). Writers like Fyodor Dostoevsky and LeoTolstoy of Russia, have described the work ofGod’s Spirit in utterly transforming their lives. Men like Chuck Colson, aide to President Richard Nixon and author of the bestsellerBorn Againhave told of being radically changed by the new birth. And whether you live in a mansion or a mud hut, you too can be saved. When the Philippian jailer asked Paul, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Paul didn’tgive him a theological dissertation. No, he simply said: ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’ Think: Not only canyoube saved today, but through your life and testimony your entire family can be won to Christ, if they repent (2 Peter 3:9 CEV). Imagine the difference that could make! Do you have to understand it? No, but you can experience it. How? By placing your trust in Christ today.
