How do we know the sovereignty of God in preaching?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God ensures that preaching is effective and not based on the preacher's abilities.

The sovereignty of God is foundational in preaching, as described in 2 Corinthians 4:5. Preachers do not convey messages of their own inventiveness; instead, they proclaim the message that God has entrusted to them. Paul emphasizes that all effectiveness in preaching comes from God's power rather than human ability. This underscored the doctrine of predestination and God's ordination of His servants. It assures believers that the truth of the Gospel will reach those it is meant for, as the sovereign God not only commands the message but also prepares the hearts of the hearers to receive it.
