Why is preaching important in the process of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Preaching is crucial because it is through the declaration of God's Word that individuals hear the gospel and are drawn to Christ.
The sermon emphasizes the importance of preaching as the means by which God calls His chosen people. In the story from Genesis 24, Abraham’s servant is tasked with delivering a message about his master and his master’s son, illustrating that the act of preaching is the chosen vessel for divine revelation. As Romans 10:14 prompts, 'How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?' This highlights that God has ordained preaching as the way for His elect to hear the gospel, culminating in belief and acceptance of Christ.
