Why is preaching Christ essential for spiritual growth?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching Christ is essential for spiritual growth because it centers believers' hearts on the true source of life and sustenance, Jesus himself.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that focusing on Christ, the bread of life, is crucial for true spiritual nourishment. Without Christ as the central message, any urging of 'oughts' and 'ought nots' leads to a Pharisaical approach that does not yield real spiritual growth. By proclaiming Christ's perfect sacrifice and grace, believers are inspired to act from a place of love and gratitude, rather than from guilt or religious obligation. This relationship with Christ cultivates a spirit willing to serve and support others in the faith, reflecting the love He first showed us.
