Why is the preaching of the Word important for faith?
Answered in 2 sources
The preaching of the Word is essential because, as Romans 10:17 states, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
According to Romans 10:17, 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This signifies that God has ordained the preaching of His Word as the primary means through which He imparts faith to His people. The expositional preaching of scripture allows individuals to encounter the truth of the gospel, which is necessary for belief. In the life of a believer, being under the faithful preaching of God's Word fosters spiritual growth and deepening faith, as it is through this means that God has chosen to reveal His truth and convey His grace. Consistency in hearing the Word preached strengthens the faith of believers and calls sinners to repentance.
