A couple once asked me: "What must we do to get married?"

I answered: "All you have to do is say, I do."

But, I ask you, was this all?

What about the ring, the marriage license, the blood test and the wedding ceremony? Are these also parts of getting married?

In marriage, the willingness and desire to say: "I do" is the foundation of the marriage. It is not, the ONLY thing, a couple must do to get married.

The same is true in the jailer’s question: “What must I do to be saved?”

Faith is the foundation, of all that the Jailer and his house, was required to do to be saved. It was not the ONLY thing.

True faith, leads to an obedient love to God.

Hebrews 11:1; Hebrews 11:6; Hebrews 11:7. Faith in 3D!
