Why is true preaching important for Christians?

True preaching is fundamental for Christians because it serves as a means of grace that reveals Christ and nourishes spiritual growth. It resonates with Paul’s exhortation that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). When the Word is preached in spirit and truth, believers are infused with hope and joy that comes from knowing Christ. The focus must always be on Christ, echoing the teaching that the Holy Spirit glorifies Him, and as such, preaching that exalts Christ ensures that the congregation is edified and transformed by the Gospel.
