What is the role of preaching in salvation?

Answered in 6 sources

Preaching is essential to salvation as it is the means through which God calls His chosen people to faith (1 Corinthians 1:21).

The act of preaching the Gospel holds a pivotal role in God’s sovereign plan for salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:21 states, 'it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe,' highlighting how God uses the proclamation of His Word to bring his elect to faith. This underscores the necessity of faithful, Gospel-centered preaching, which is the instrument through which God draws His chosen ones to Himself. As articulated in Romans 10:17, 'faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,' emphasizing that an authentic hearing of the Gospel is indispensable for true conversion. Thus, preaching is not merely an obligation; it is a divinely ordained means of grace vital for the salvation of souls.
