Can A Man Be Saved At Once? 

Question: Can a man be saved at once?
Answer:The same hour of the night that the Jailor asked, "What must I do to be saved?" he witnessed his conversion and baptism; and it is likewise added, he "rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house." In one short hour, the whole household believed, were saved, and baptized. It is of no use people saying that, "No one can be saved at once," for Scripture clearly shows that those mentioned in the New Testament, whenever they believed, were saved. Some have supposed that conversion is a gradual process, requiring much time and earnest prayer. How long does it take one to 'believe" what his father says? A moment. Another figure is employed - "Looking." "Look unto Me, and be ye saved" (Isa. 45:22). How long did it take a bitten Israelite to be cured? The one moment he was dying, the next, by simply looking at the brazen serpent, he was completely healed (Num. 21:9; John 3:14-15).

    The very moment you "believe" in, or "look" to Jesus as the One who bled and suffered for you, you are saved.

There is life in a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee.
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved-
Unto Him who was nailed to the tree.
