The Bible teaches that preaching is the proclamation of the Gospel, emphasizing God's sovereignty in salvation rather than human merit.
Preaching, according to Scripture, is the act of proclaiming the Gospel truth, focusing on Christ's redemptive work and the sovereignty of God in salvation. This calling is not about making converts or seeking financial gain, but about declaring the truth of God's Word. The Apostle Paul states in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 that his preaching was not in persuasive words but in demonstration of the Spirit's power. This illustrates the importance of divine empowerment in preaching rather than human eloquence or wisdom.
