How does God use the church to bring people to faith?

Answered in 1 source

God uses the church as a vessel to proclaim the gospel, resulting in the transformation and salvation of individuals.

God's sovereign plan for bringing individuals to faith involves the active participation of the church in evangelism. As described in Acts 26, the church is an agency of change, tasked with sharing the message of Christ that opens the eyes of the spiritually blind. When the church faithfully preaches the gospel, it taps into the power of the Holy Spirit to convict and draw individuals to Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 emphasizes that it is God who shines light into darkness, illustrating that salvation is ultimately His work. The church's role is to faithfully articulate the good news, allowing God to use this message to change lives and reconcile sinners to Himself. In this way, the church acts as a conduit for God's saving grace in the world.
