Why is preaching the gospel important in regeneration?
Answered in 1 source
Preaching the gospel is essential because it is the means by which God quickens the hearts of His chosen people to spiritual life.
According to the sermon, the preaching of the gospel is a divinely ordained means through which God applies His grace and brings about regeneration in the lives of His people. Romans 10:14 reinforces this point by asking how one can believe in Him of whom they have not heard. The preaching acts as the instrumental cause by which the Holy Spirit brings new life, opening the eyes and hearts of sinners to understand and respond to the message of Christ. This process exemplifies the beautiful interplay between divine sovereignty and means, reflecting God’s wisdom in using human instruments to convey the truth of His saving grace.
