How do we achieve salvation according to the sermon?

According to the sermon, salvation is not a matter of doing good works or preparing oneself but is solely based on faith in Jesus Christ. The call to 'believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved' (Acts 16:31) emphasizes that it is through faith alone—sola fide—that one receives salvation. This doctrine highlights that no amount of personal effort or merit can contribute to one’s standing before God; rather, it is through Christ's completed work and the grace of God that a sinner is justified and accepted. Thus, the message of the gospel remains one of grace and faith rather than works.
