Lydia responded to the gospel by trusting in Jesus Christ. Acts 16:14 says, “The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul,” and then in verse 15 Lydia was baptized, which in Acts always follows faith in Christ. Faith must not be defined as a correctly worded prayer or a walk to the front of a building at the end of a sermon. Faith involves understanding and believing certain facts about Jesus (specifically, His sinless life, death as a wrath-bearing substitute for sinners, and resurrection) and trusting in Him for salvation
