What role does preaching play in salvation according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Preaching is integral to salvation as it communicates the Gospel, which is the means by which God saves His elect.
The role of preaching in salvation is clearly stated in passages like Romans 10:14-15, where it states that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Preaching serves as the conduit through which the Gospel is proclaimed to the lost, explaining the truth of Christ’s finished work and calling individuals to faith. It is through the folly of preaching that God has chosen to save those who believe (1 Corinthians 1:21). Thus, the act of preaching becomes elevated, serving not only as an announcement of the good news but as God's chosen method for sovereignly converting hearts and establishing His kingdom.
