Why is love for God central in preaching the gospel?

Preaching the gospel should fundamentally stem from a sincere love for God. According to the sermon, true preachers are compelled by the desire to exalt God, declare His glory, and honor His name. This love is not merely an emotional response but a deep-rooted commitment to acknowledging God for who He is—our prophet, priest, and king. When men preach from this love, it transforms the act of preaching into a heartfelt offering that glorifies God and invites others into that same love. It is this motivation of love for God that leads to effective preaching that ultimately blesses both the preacher and the listeners.
