The Gospel and the Means of Grace
How is the word made effectual to salvation?
Answer
The Spirit of God maketh the reading, but especially the preaching of the word, an effectual means of convincing and converting sinners, and of building them up in holiness and comfort through faith unto salvation (Nehemiah 8:8; Acts 26:18; Psalm 19:8; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:15-16; 10:13-17; 15:4; 1 Corinthians 14:24-25; 2 Timothy 3:15-17).
