What does the Bible teach about the preaching of the gospel?

Preaching the gospel is fundamentally important in Reformed theology as it is God's chosen instrument for salvation. Romans 10:14-17 explains that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. The act of preaching is not merely a human endeavor; rather, it is imbued with divine purpose as it reflects God's intent in revealing His Son to His chosen people. Preachers are called to declare the whole counsel of God, focusing on Christ crucified. This means that faithful preaching will always point to Christ as the embodiment of hope, and it is through this preaching that the Spirit works to bring regeneration and understanding. Moreover, it serves to glorify God, as the aim of all preaching should focus on His glory rather than human achievement.
