Why is hearing the gospel important for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Hearing the gospel is essential as faith comes through the word of Christ, leading to salvation for the elect.

Hearing the gospel is pivotal because it is the means by which God calls His elect into faith. Romans 10 asserts that faith comes from hearing, and specifically from the proclamation of the gospel. This underscores the necessity of preaching as God's appointed method for spreading the good news. Without hearing the truth of the gospel, individuals remain in spiritual darkness, as regeneration precedes faith, meaning that the elect, upon hearing the gospel, are awakened to believe. This divine orchestration not only affirms the necessity of evangelism but also portrays the glory of God's sovereignty in salvation.
