How do we know God's grace is central to preaching?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is central to preaching because it emphasizes reliance on Christ rather than human wisdom or performance.

In 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, Paul explains that his preaching was not based on persuasive words or human wisdom but on the demonstration of the Spirit's power. This shows that the foundation of effective preaching rests on God's grace. By focusing on Christ crucified, preachers ensure that faith is rooted in the power of God, rather than in human understanding. This aligns with the historic Reformed perspective that our trust and confidence lie not in our own abilities but solely in God's sovereign grace as revealed in the gospel.
