God is pleased to use preaching because it reflects His sovereign plan to reveal truth through humble means.
God chooses to manifest His Word through preaching, as stated in Titus 1:3. This methodology highlights His sovereignty and the humble, often insignificant vessels He utilizes. Rather than relying on grand displays or extraordinary messengers, God is glorified in employing ordinary men who faithfully proclaim His truths. This act serves not only to communicate divine reality but also to humble both the messenger and the hearer, permitting God's grace to shine through weakness. By this means, preaching becomes a powerful tool for salvation and sanctification, demonstrating that faith comes through hearing the Word of God.
