Why is preaching Christ the only effective means of conversion?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching Christ is the only effective means of conversion because faith comes from hearing the message about Him (Romans 10:17).

The effectiveness of preaching Christ arises from the nature of faith itself. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. It is through the preaching of the gospel—centered on Christ's person and work—that the Holy Spirit convicts hearts and brings about true conversion. The message of Christ's atoning sacrifice and righteousness is the only message that God honors to save sinners. This underscores the necessity for preachers to proclaim Christ explicitly, as no other message has the power to change lives and redeem the lost.
