We are saved through faith in Christ Jesus, by hearing the preaching of the Word and believing it in our hearts.
Salvation, according to the sermon, is a process initiated by God that involves His Word being preached and the individual responding in faith. Philip preached to the eunuch from Isaiah 53, explaining the fulfillment of the Scriptures in Jesus. This aligns with Romans 10:17, which states that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. The eunuch's sincere inquiry and subsequent declaration of faith ('I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God') illustrates the essence of saving faith: acknowledging Christ's divinity and works for salvation. Hence, it is clear that one cannot be saved apart from the proclamation and understanding of the Gospel.
