Memory Verse
"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved–you and your household." Acts 16:31
I have come to the point now when I see a verse, I will look it up in the NIV Life Application Bible. The additional information provided enrichens my understanding of the scriptures. I spent many years trying to understand a piece of scripture, but not getting it because I did not go farther and look into the context and supporting scripture around the verse.
This weeks verse comes from when Paul and Silas were in jail. They were singing hymns and praying to God. There was an earthquake and the prison doors flew open. The jailer woke up and was about to kill himself because he thought his prisoners had escaped, but Paul yelled that everyone was there.
The jailer witnessed what had happened and realized that what Paul and Sila were saying was true and asked how he could be saved.
Paul and Silas’ response is stated in Acts 16:31. A very simple expression.
When we recognize Jesus as Lord and trust in him our entire life, we are assured we are saved.
Acts 16:34 shows how the jailer was filled with joy in believing in God. We all can have that kind of joy.
