What does the Bible say about the importance of preaching Christ?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible emphasizes that preaching should center on Christ, as evident in Paul's declaration that they preached not themselves but Christ Jesus the Lord.

In 2 Corinthians 4:5, the Apostle Paul states, 'For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.' This reflects the necessity of keeping Christ as the focus of all preaching. To preach oneself, rather than Christ, leads not only to unprofitability for the hearers but also fails to please God. Preaching Christ Jesus at all times ensures that the message is consistent and directed towards the salvation and eternal advantage of the congregation, as seen in the exhortation for ministers to serve others for Jesus' sake, emphasizing that their service aligns with God's purpose and glory.
