How do we know God uses preaching to save people?

Answered in 1 source

God uses the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe, as revealed in Scripture.

The act of preaching is central to the spreading of the Gospel, as Paul indicates in Romans 10:14-15, where he asks how people can call on the one they have not believed in, and how they can believe in the one of whom they have not heard. This highlights that faith comes by hearing the message, and that message is delivered through preaching. The emphasis here is that it is not the eloquence or wisdom of the messenger that saves, but the content of the message itself—Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This process is empowered by the Holy Spirit, who opens the hearts of those who hear, allowing them to respond in faith.
