WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

Acts 16:29-34 - "Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?  And they said, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, and THOU SHALT BE SAVED . . . . And they spake unto him the Word of the Lord (The Gospel - Mk. 16:15; Rom. 1:15-17; 1 Cor. 15:3-4) . . . . And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized . . . . And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, BELIEVING IN GOD . . . ." 

Romans 10:8-17 - "But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the Word of faith, which we preach; that IF THOU SHALT CONFESS with thy mouth the LORD Jesus (acknowledge Jesus as your Lord), AND SHALT BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, (THEN) THOU SHALT BE SAVED.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent?  As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  But they have not all obeyed the Gospel.  For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?  So then, FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD."

Ephesians 2:4-9 - "But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved); and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  that in the ages to come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  For by grace are YE ARE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD:  not of works, lest any man should boast."

So, what must you do to be saved? 
1)  HEAR THE GOSPEL 
2)  BELIEVE THE GOSPEL 
3)  ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD!
