What does the Bible say about the purpose of preaching the Gospel?

Answered in 3 sources

The purpose of preaching the Gospel is to declare the testimony of God, not to build a following or convert others through human wisdom.

The Apostle Paul emphasized that he did not come to baptize or build a church; he came solely to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:17). This reflects a central theme in sovereign grace theology: the role of preaching is not to attract followers through clever rhetoric or methods, but to declare the truth of God's Word as it is. Paul made it clear that he determined to know nothing among the Corinthians but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, indicating that the essence of Christian preaching is to center on the work of Christ and His atoning sacrifice.
