Why is preaching important for bringing spiritual life?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching is crucial because it is through the proclamation of God's Word that faith is awakened and life is given (Romans 10:17).

The importance of preaching is emphasized in Ezekiel 37, where God's command to Ezekiel is to proclaim His Word to the dry bones. This act demonstrates that hearing the Word of God is instrumental in awakening spiritual life (Ezekiel 37:4, Romans 10:17). It is by God's design that preaching the gospel leads to salvation, for faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). The message delivered must be rooted in Scripture, as it is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). Thus, the act of preaching serves as the means by which God chooses to communicate His life-giving grace to the spiritually dead.
