God reveals His salvation through the preaching of the gospel, making it known to His elect.
God has chosen to reveal His salvation through the preaching of His Son, Jesus Christ. As Paul states in 2 Timothy 1:10, the glorious plan of salvation is 'made manifest by the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ.' This highlights the necessity of preaching in God's ordained means of communicating the gospel message. Through appointed preachers, God delivers His message to the hearts of His people. These preachers, though human and imperfect, serve as vessels through which the Holy Spirit works to illuminate the truth of Christ's grace and redemption. The preaching of the Word is integral because it cultivates faith, as Romans 10:17 affirms: 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Thus, the ministry of the Word is essential for believers to grasp the fullness of their salvation and to grow in their faith.
