“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
Judges 2:4
As soon as the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept
Acts 2:37
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
Luke 3:9
He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father. ’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.
Acts 16:26
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
What truth could be spoken to you where you would weep or ask what must I do? I imagine it comes down to where we think truth comes from and how much we believe in that source. Are we like those who Crist called a “Brood of Vipers” who had a head knowledge but their was no action or fruit. Their heart was not in serving God but rather in themselves. How close does this sound to how we live today. Do we practice the presence of God in our heart, mind and soul? Is it Him we are wanting to bring honor and glory to? What would a life look like, what actions would be seen, what thoughts would be going through their head, how would they respond to others, who would they help????? What ever answers you come up with to these questions will give you a very good starting point. A good place to keep these questions coming from is staying in His word and thinking about what He is telling you. Stay close to Him. Learn to hear His voice, Obey what He is telling you. Weeping will be that of Joy and your question turns from what must I do to “What do you want me to do” I am willing!!!
