Why does God use preaching to bring His people to life?

Answered in 1 source

God uses preaching to demonstrate His sovereign power and to give life to the spiritually dead through His proclaimed Word (1 Corinthians 1:21).

Preaching serves as the primary means by which God calls His people to life and faith. In 1 Corinthians 1:21, Paul writes that it pleased God to save those who believe through the foolishness of preaching. This method highlights God’s sovereignty—choosing to reveal Himself and impart life through His Word. In Ezekiel 37, the act of preaching to the dry bones illustrates how God commands His messenger to proclaim life to that which is dead. It is through this divinely ordained act that God breathes life into His people, demonstrating His power and purpose in the salvation of the elect.
