Ours is an ever changing world! Man continues his relentless march in the direction of greater knowledge and achievement. New frontiers fall daily as discoveries are made. Continents have been found, the life span prolonged, the speed of sound surpassed by humans in flight and the moon bears the mark of footprints from three journeys into space. New horizons of conquest draw ever nearer.

    Other changes inevitably follow in the wake of success. Man's whole philosophy of life tends to vary from that of the past. His attitudes, outlook and values often shift. He becomes materialistic, vain and short-sighted. His world is the here and now, and his concern how he can have more.

    But there are matters that do yield to the forces of change! These are immutable and eternal. Paramount among these is the issue of the human soul and its destiny! Of all the questions that have probed the mind of man, "What must I do to be saved?" remains pre-eminent. And it ever will!

    The inspired answer is the same today as it was in Jerusalem (Acts 2), or in Damascus (Acts 9;22), or in Philippi (Acts 16) in the first century.

UNBELIEVERS were told: "believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . ." (acts 16:31). when they heard the word of the lord, they were baptized the same hour of the night (acts 16:33).     BELIEVERS were instructed: "repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. . ." (acts 2:38). we read further: "then they that gladly received his word were baptized. . ." (acts 2:41).     PENITENT BELIEVERS were commanded: ". . . arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins. . ." (acts 22:16).

    The answer God gives to this vital question is the same for all men. These, cited in the Scriptures, heard the word of Christ, believed it with all their hearts, repented of every sin, and were baptized "for the remission of sins" or to "wash away sins". They were saved by the grace of God, were added to his church, and served Him as "Christians" only.

    This world may continue to change in the years to come, but of one things we can be certain: "What must I do to be saved?" will remain the greatest question of the ages. To their souls' destiny wise men will give heed.
