How do we know the doctrine of preaching the Word is true?
Answered in 2 sources
We know it is true because it is commanded by God in Scripture and aligns with the entirety of biblical teaching.
The doctrine of preaching the Word is established on the authority of God’s command found in the Scriptures. In 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul explicitly instructs Timothy to preach the Word, demonstrating that this is not merely advice but a Divine mandate. Furthermore, Romans 1:16 illustrates that the gospel, which is preached, is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. This connection between preaching and the efficacy of God's Word affirms that when preachers declare Scripture, they do so under God’s direction, which assures us of its truth.
