The purpose of Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost was to lead his listeners to Jesus Christ. In his sermon, Peter explained the significance of the events taking place, such as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the signs of the last days, in relation to Jesus Christ. He proclaimed Jesus as the fulfilment of prophecy, attested by God with miracles, and emphasized his resurrection as a central point of the Christian faith. Peter's goal was to persuade his audience to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and to lead them to faith in Christ.
