Instant Salvation!
The jailer did not go through a period of mourning. He was told to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; he did just that and was saved,
and his whole family was saved the same way, immediately, the same
hour of the night. Everywhere you look through the New Testament you
find that people were saved all at once without any process, without
any period of mourning. Zacchaeus, up a tree, trusted Jesus and made
haste and came down, and received Him joyfully (Luke 19:6-9). Jesus
said, "This day is salvation come to this house." When Peter told
Cornelius and his assembled household that they could be saved by
believing, immediately "while Peter yet spake these words," the
Scripture says, the Holy Spirit came on them and they were happily
saved (Acts 10:44-48). The thief on the cross, wicked sinner that he
was, who a few minutes before had been railing at Jesus, was saved
immediately when he inquired of Jesus (Luke 23:42, 43). In the first
chapter of John, verses 35 to 49, we see where Andrew, Simon Peter,
Philip and Nathanael were all converted, one by one, immediately by
faith in Christ. There is no record of any person in Bible times who
was ever told to wait, or mourn, or weep over his sins before
trusting Jesus and being saved! One who believes in Christ has
repented. Repentance and faith are the same thing put in different
words, and neither requires a long period of time, nor a process of
mourning and sorrow.
Salvation is instantaneous. All that keeps you today from being
saved is the wickedness of your heart that holds on to sin and will
not run to Jesus to trust in Him for salvation. I beg you, turn in
shame and sorrow from your sins this minute, and trust in Christ and
be saved!
