What does it mean that God is pleased with preaching?
Answered in 1 source
God’s pleasure in preaching means it is His chosen method for revealing His truths and saving His people (1 Corinthians 1:21).
The notion that God is pleased with preaching indicates that this act aligns with His sovereign will and purpose for salvation. In 1 Corinthians 1:21, Paul articulates that God was pleased to save through what appears to be foolishness by human standards—the act of preaching the Gospel. This pleasure reflects God's divine wisdom, as preaching dismantles the proud and wise while elevating the humble and obedient. It reveals that God delights in using a simple proclamation to accomplish His profound work of redemption, demonstrating both His sovereignty and grace in the life of believers.
