Why is preaching the gospel to sinners important?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching the gospel is essential for the spiritual awakening of sinners who are dead in sin.

Ezekiel’s command to prophesy to the dry bones serves as a powerful metaphor for preaching the gospel to dead sinners. Without the proclamation of God’s Word, there can be no spiritual awakening (Romans 10:14-17). The preacher is called to declare what God will do — to bring life where there was once death. This is articulated in Mark 16:15, where Jesus commands His disciples to preach the gospel to every creature. It emphasizes that the gospel is the means through which God draws His elect to Himself, enabling them to respond in faith, as faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ.
