Why is the message of the gospel important for preaching?

The heart of preaching must always center on the gospel of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work. The substance of the message declared must align with the work of Christ; otherwise, preaching becomes ineffective and meaningless. Paul reinforces this in Romans 10:17, highlighting that faith arises from hearing the word of God. Preachers must boldly declare the 'word of faith' which is rooted in Christ's righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, firmly emphasizing that salvation is fully a gift from God to His people.
