Why is it important for Christians to be preached to?

Answered in 1 source

Being preached to is essential as it aligns believers with God’s truth and fosters spiritual growth.

For Christians, being preached to is paramount because it serves to align their hearts and minds with the truth of God's Word. When believers come together to hear the preaching of the gospel, they are not merely listening; they are being pointed to Christ, shut up to Him with no alternatives. This experience is vital for spiritual growth as it establishes a foundation based on the truth that is outside of themselves, leading to genuine faith and reliance on God's grace. As noted in Luke 4:18-19, Christ came to preach to the poor, brokenhearted, captives, and blind, demonstrating that the gospel is for those who recognize they are in need of divine help and grace.
