HOW DO I CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY? (How do I become a Christian?)
Acts 16:28 (NKJV) “But (Apostle) Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” 29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.” - John Piper
A man in a Greek city of Philippi asked a remarkably similar question as our topic. He asked the question of Apostles Paul and Silas. That is when this man asked, “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts Chapter 16, verse 30). We know at least three things about this man: 1. He was a jailer, 2. He was a pagan and 3. He was desperate. This man, we generally call The Philippian Jailer, was on the verge of suicide. Apostle Paul stopped him by simple offering that belief in Jesus Christ would save the man’s life. That fact that the man asks the question shows that he recognized his need of salvation. All of mankind is born with a basic need to find something that satisfies the longing in their heart. God put that eternal component in the DNA of all of us. This man, we affectionately call him the Philippian Jailer, saw only death for himself and his P a g e | 10
