Why is the preaching of the Gospel essential for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Preaching the Gospel is essential because it conveys the message of salvation and imparts faith through hearing the Word of God.

The preaching of the Gospel is central to the believer's faith journey as expressed in Romans 10:17: 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This highlights that God uses the preaching of His Word to create and strengthen faith in the hearts of His elect. The Gospel message, which holds the power of salvation, must be proclaimed in order for individuals to hear and respond to it. When God's truth is lifted up through the preaching of the Gospel, it reveals the character of God, our sinful condition, and the necessity of Christ's atoning work. Hence, the regular attendance and listening to Gospel preaching is crucial for spiritual growth and sustenance.
