 We can never be saved by feeling sorry for our sins. Luke records in the book of Acts the conversion of a Roman jailer who had been in charge of Paul and Silas when they were imprisoned. They had been arrested because they had healed a slave girl who was demon-possessed and had the ability to tell fortunes. This aggravated her owner who had been using her to acquire money, so he made some false claims against Paul and Silas and eventually had them arrested.
