What should be the motives behind preaching the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching should be driven by a desire to please God and communicate His truth, not to gain human approval or personal gain.

According to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:4, the motives of preaching must be sincere, as he asserts that he does not preach to please men but to please God. The focus must be on the purity of the gospel message and the intent to glorify God rather than seeking approval or flattery from people. A preacher is entrusted with the gospel, and therefore, must be careful to communicate it faithfully without compromise. This sincerity should aim to lead others to repentance and faith, reflecting the love and justice of God.
