What is the significance of preaching the work of Christ?

The preaching of the work of Christ is foundational for believers as it encompasses the full scope of His redemptive mission—from the incarnation to His resurrection and ascension. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of preaching not only who Christ is but what He has accomplished on behalf of sinners. This work includes His perfect obedience, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection, each element affirming the believer's standing before God. In proclaiming the work of Christ, ministers are not merely recounting historical events; they are heralding the truth that these acts secure for believers a new identity as children of God, filled with hope and purpose.
