Why is preaching important in sovereign grace theology?
Answered in 1 source
Preaching is vital as it is the means through which God gathers and nourishes His elect.
Sovereign grace theology holds that preaching is essential because it is the primary means by which God chooses to save His people. Romans 10:14 states that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, emphasizing the necessity of preaching in the salvation process. In Ezekiel 34, God promises to seek out His sheep and feed them, and throughout Scripture, He assigns this task to preachers of the gospel. It is through preaching that believers are informed of their need for Christ and are sustained in their faith, illustrating that the act of preaching is both a divine command and a means of grace.
