Preaching the gospel is essential as it communicates God's plan of salvation and is the means by which God calls His elect to faith (Romans 10:14-15).
The preaching of the gospel is vital because it serves as the primary means by which God reveals His sovereign grace and calls sinners to salvation. Romans 10:14-15 articulates that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Therefore, the faithful proclamation of the gospel is necessary for individuals to understand their need for a Savior and to respond in faith. Additionally, it fulfills the Great Commission, as Jesus instructed His followers to preach the good news to all nations. This underscores the role of preachers and the church in God’s redemptive plan.
