Preaching Christ is crucial because it proclaims the true gospel and highlights salvation through Him alone (1 Corinthians 1:21).
Preaching Christ stands at the center of the gospel message because it reveals the nature of God's redemptive plan. The preaching of Christ emphasizes His role as mediator, redeemer, and the source of righteousness. Scripture makes it clear (such as in 1 Corinthians 1:21) that the wisdom of God through the foolishness of preaching is how He chooses to save those who believe. The gospel is not merely about morality or personal decisions; it recognizes Christ’s accomplished work on the cross, distinguishing true belief from legalism or moralism. Accordingly, sowing the seed means faithfully proclaiming this rich message of grace, ensuring that listeners understand it as their only hope for salvation.
