Acts 16: 31
Believe on the LORD JESUS Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
This is the promise of GOD to all who believe on the name of the LORD JESUS. There is a verse in Isaiah 49 which says: "But thus saith the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children." (Is. 49:25). They that believe on the LORD JESUS Christ shall be saved and their house (Acts 16:31).
This is a promise that brings great hope to many parents, grand parents and great grand parents, who have a passionate desire for their household to be saved and restored to wholeness. I want to remind us all that all the promises of GOD are yes and amen. We can sing the song, "Standing on the promises of GOD". The LORD GOD is faithful to His word and will not go back on His promises to His children and to their children.
There are many stories in the Bible about the salvation of households, where one individual believed GOD and that person's household was brought to salvation. I witnessed this happen in 1956, when the Auqua Indians of Ecuador, after beheading the 5 missionaries who landed on their shores, were saved. The sister of Nate Saint, Rachel Saint, went to the village and on the way met Dyuma, the Chief's daughter. Rachel won her to Christ and Dyuma brought her father to Christ and the father brought the whole village to Christ. The Seeds of the Martyrs bore great fruit; whole households were saved.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED, AND YOUR HOUSE.
