How do we know that preaching the cross is essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching the cross is essential because it is the power of God for salvation and provides believers salvation from wrong thinking.

In 1 Corinthians 1:21, Paul emphasizes that 'it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.' The preaching of the cross serves to correct the misconceptions and false teachings pervasive within the world and even within religious circles. It brings salvation from error and helps believers understand their standing before God. Without the cross, both Jews seeking signs and Greeks desiring wisdom miss the truth found in Christ, who embodies God's power and wisdom. Therefore, faithful preaching points to Christ's work on the cross, ensuring that salvation remains centered on Him alone.
