How do we know that preaching is an effective means of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching is effective because it is accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, leading the elect to believe (Romans 10:17).

In Romans 10:17, we learn that 'faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This demonstrates that the act of preaching carries the authority of God's Word, transforming the hearts of the listeners. The Spirit's power is essential; it enables the preached Word to penetrate the hearts of the elect, resulting in genuine faith and belief in Christ. Through the divinely ordained means of preaching, God brings His chosen people to salvation, fulfilling His sovereign will.
