What exactly is so significant about preaching? Dr. Joseph Morecraft uses the Westminster Larger Catechism as the basis for this study on the saving power of God's Word preached.

From Page 10

The diligent use of the external means of grace is also required of us if we are to escape the wrath of God. These means of grace include all His ordinances, i.e., whatever He has commanded of us in the Bible, Matthew 28:20, but especially those means of grace include the word, sacraments, and prayer, Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:42,46,47. And it should be noted that it is the diligent use of God’s means of saving grace that is emphasized in the answer to Question 153. We must not use them in a careless, haphazard or indifferent manner, as though we neither expected nor desired to receive anything from God through them. Diligence implies taking advantage of every opportunity to use these means of grace, and earnestly desiring and expecting God’s grace through these means.

Why are we to be diligent in our use of the word, sacraments and prayer? Because these are the means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of His mediation. Means of grace are not only Christian duties performed in obedience to God, who instituted them as the way He desires to be worshipped and served by His creatures, they are also promises from God by which He assures His people of His presence and His blessing--where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you, Exodus 20:24. He encourages His people to observe them diligently in the hope and faith that through them God will bring His presence and blessings into their lives. As God works grace through them, they are called “means of grace”; and “as He seldom works grace without first inclining persons to attend on Him in them, and wait for His salvation, they are called the ‘ordinary’ means of grace; and as they have not in themselves a tendency to work grace, without the inward and powerful influences of the Holy Spirit accompanying them, they are distinguished from it, and accordingly styled the outward means of grace.’”- Ridgeley, COMMENTARY, Vol. II, p. 433 View the first 8 pages.
