Bible Question:
“...yes I believe that according to Acts 16:31 my faith can save my family...”
Bible Texts:
If you are saying “By my faith for them, I believe they all will come to The Lord, one by one...”
That is good! But if you are implying that you can save them by your own coming to The Lord.....that would be false.
I cannot be “saved,” for you, nor you for me, no matter how well meaning that thought may be.
What is this verse then saying?......
Acts 16:31
KJV
And they said, Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
(Salvation for believers)
Amplified Bible
And they answered, “Believe in The Lord Jesus [as your personal Savior and entrust yourself to Him] and you will be saved, you and your household [if they also believe].”
Contemporary English Version
They replied, "Have faith in The Lord Jesus and you will be saved! This is also true for everyone who lives in your home."
Other Scripture:
Acts 18:8 NLT
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on The Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
Who was baptized? Those who believed!
Should we pray for our loved ones?
I Timothy 2:1 KJV
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
Ephesians 6:18 NLT
Pray in The Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
God will bless you if you keep praying!
Proverbs 28:20 KJV
A faithful man shall abound with blessings..."
Matthew 25:21 KJV
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Revelation 2:10 KJV
"...be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."\
Prayer:
Romans 13:8-10 NLT
8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.
