Acts 16

²⁷ The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.
²⁸ But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!"
²⁹ The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
^30a He then brought them out and asked,

³⁰ "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

³¹ They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."
³² Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.
³³ At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. (NIV)

The apostle Paul and his companion had been unjustly imprisoned for preaching about Jesus. Through the long night, the jailer was surprised to hear them singing praise to God. Suddenly, an earthquake freed the prisoners. The jailer feared he would be punished for their escape, but was amazed Paul and Silas had not run away.

If you were asked this question, what would you say?
If you currently or previously attended a church, what did they teach about: "What must I do to be saved?"

Proverbs 14

⁹ Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.
¹⁰ Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
¹¹ The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

¹² There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

¹³ Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief.
¹⁴ The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his. (NIV)

Proverbs 15

⁶ There is treasure in the house of the godly, but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
⁷ Only the wise can give good advice; fools cannot do so.
⁸ The LORD hates the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright.

⁹ The LORD despises the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue godliness.

¹⁰ Whoever abandons the right path will be severely punished; whoever hates correction will die.
¹¹ Even the depths of Death and Destruction are known by the LORD. How much more does he know the human heart!
