Why is the preaching of the Gospel important for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The preaching of the Gospel is essential because it is the means by which God brings salvation to His people.
The proclamation of the Gospel is central to God's plan for salvation. According to 1 Corinthians, it 'pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.' This emphasizes that the method God has chosen to deliver His message of grace is through the spoken Word. The Gospel not only reveals the nature and character of Christ but also confronts individuals with their need for a Savior. When preached with the authority of God, it becomes the instrument through which the Holy Spirit works, bringing men and women from death to life, enabling them to hear and respond in faith.
