Preaching Christ is essential as it is through Christ alone that salvation is received and understood.
The proclamation of Christ is central to Christian teaching and practice because it reveals the heart of the Gospel. The apostle Paul famously stated in 1 Corinthians 2:2 that he determined to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. This focus on Christ emphasizes that all doctrines, including those pertaining to grace, ultimately direct believers to Jesus as the source of their faith and salvation. When sinners believe on Christ, they automatically embrace the doctrines of grace as they understand their need for divine intervention and selection unto salvation.
