How Can I Be Saved? (LD 23; Acts 16:30-31)
Christ’s blessings are received not by personal righteousness or covenant status but through faith in Christ and the Spirit’s work. Acts 16 illustrates this through the Philippian jailer, who, after witnessing Paul and Silas’s steadfast faith, learns that salvation comes not by human effort but by faith or believing in Jesus. Jailer’s conversion and the servant girl’s deliverance prove that deliverance is through God’s redemptive purpose and a restored humanity. Paul and Silas’s joy in suffering highlights the unshakable nature of faith, and the jailer’s baptism affirms God’s covenantal work, calling us to trust in Christ alone for salvation.
