Why is preaching Christ alone important for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
Preaching Christ alone is crucial because it focuses on the central truth of salvation and strengthens the faith of believers.
The emphasis on preaching Christ alone stems from the belief that He is the only way to salvation (John 14:6). In Acts 20, Paul exemplifies this by declaring that he kept back nothing from the believers that was profitable, consistently pointing them to the gospel of grace. Preaching Christ is important because it nurtures the spiritual growth of the congregation, allowing them to see their need for grace and the sufficiency of Christ's work. It also combats distractions that may lead believers away from the core truths of the faith. By focusing solely on Christ, the church is built up in faith and encouraged to share the gospel with others.
