How do we know that the Word of God is important for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Word of God is essential for faith, as faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

The importance of the Word of God is underscored in the narrative of Lazarus and the rich man. The rich man argued that a miracle would suffice for saving his brothers, yet Abraham pointed them back to the Scriptures—'they have Moses and the prophets.' This illustrates God's chosen method for salvation: the preaching of His Word. Paul's teachings confirm this, stating that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). The gospel's power lies not in signs and wonders but in the declaration of Christ's work and the truth of Scripture. Therefore, embracing and esteeming God's Word is foundational for spiritual life and salvation.
