Why does preaching matter if God has already chosen His elect?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching matters because it is the means through which God's elect are called to faith and obedience.

The question of the purpose of preaching in light of God's sovereign choice is addressed in Romans 3, where Paul asserts that it has much significance. God has commanded His people to preach the Gospel as a means of grace through which He will bring His elect to salvation. It emphasizes obedience to God's directive, showcasing His ordained order in employing human means to accomplish His divine purposes. Therefore, while God has secured the outcome of salvation, the method of how that salvation is applied involves the faithful proclamation of His Word. This reflects the partnership between divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the mission of the church.
