Why is the preaching of the gospel necessary?

Answered in 1 source

The preaching of the gospel is necessary as it is the means by which God calls sinners to faith and transforms lives.

Preaching the gospel is necessary because, according to Romans 10:17, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The preached gospel serves as a divine summons to sinners, enabling them to encounter the truth of God through the Holy Spirit's power. It is through this preaching that the deceased are quickened, revealing their spiritual condition and need for salvation. The church’s commission is to declare this gospel, as it is God’s ordained method for making His elect aware of their need for divine grace and drawing them into a saving relationship with Himself.
