Why must we preach Christ crucified?

Answered in 1 source

Preaching Christ crucified is essential because it is the means by which God calls and saves His elect.

Paul’s assertion to the Galatians emphasizes that the proclamation of Christ and Him crucified is not just a message; it is the core of the gospel. According to 1 Corinthians 1:21, God chose the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. The cross serves as the focal point for understanding God’s redemptive plan and the only way for sinners to be reconciled to Him. By setting forth the cross in preaching, we provide the message of hope and assurance that God is actively calling His chosen people by the power of His word. Hence, neglecting to focus on the cross undermines the very essence of the gospel and the divine purpose behind it.
