What Is The Purpose of Preaching the Gospel?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that regeneration and salvation are solely the work of God, not dependent on human faith as a means but as a result. The purpose of preaching the gospel is not to bring about salvation, which God has already accomplished through Jesus Christ, but to assure believers of their salvation and bring peace of mind. The gospel ministry serves to reconcile the sinner's mind to the fact that God is already reconciled to them, providing assurance and peace about eternal life. True peace comes from knowing and trusting in the finished work of Christ, not from human effort or belief.
