Why is it important for preachers to rely on God's Word?

The sermon underscores that the power of preaching lies solely in God's Word. Romans 1:16 declares that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Preachers are called to declare God's Word as it gives life, brings light to darkness, and protects against ignorance and falsehood. By relying on Scripture, preachers fulfill their role as ministers of the gospel, providing truth that leads to repentance and faith in Christ. This reliance is not just a duty but a necessity, as the efficacy of their message hinges on the power of God's Word rather than personal eloquence or human wisdom.
