What role does preaching play in a sinner's salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching is a vital means God uses to communicate the Gospel and is essential for bringing sinners to faith.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes in Romans 10:14-17 that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Preaching serves as the ordained method through which God reveals His grace to sinners. This underscores the importance of the preaching of the Gospel, as it is through this foolishness that God saves those who believe. The preacher, as a messenger of the Gospel, conveys the message of salvation which none can fully discern without the Spirit's illumination. Ultimately, God has chosen to work through preaching to call His elect and bring about their faith—demonstrating His sovereign plan in the salvation of sinners.
