A. What Is Biblical Mission? “Biblical mission means more than simply going overseas to plant churches or spread civilization. It means the church participating in the ‘mission of God (Missio Dei)’ and seeking the restoration of God’s rule and glory throughout the whole earth. Mission is not a program that begins with human enthusiasm; rather, it is the heart of God that runs throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and is a fundamental reason for the church’s existence. Let me clearly summarize five essential principles of true mission as presented in Scripture. 🌍 1. The Mission of God (Missio Dei) The subject and initiator of mission is not human beings but God. In order to save fallen humanity, God first comes to us, sends His Son, and sends the Holy Spirit. He is the “missionary God” who sends. Biblical basis: “As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” (John 20:21) Key meaning: The church acknowledges that God has the initiative in mission and serves as His agent, obed...
Conclusion
We who follow Jesus are poor in spirit, mourners,
meek, hunger and thirsty for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart,
peacemakers, persecuted for the sake of righteousness. Also, we who follow Jesus are those who have
been called by the Lord. The Lord has
also promised us, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” We who listen to the voice of the Lord and
obey the Lord's call and follow the Lord must not only open our mouths to
preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, but also live a life worthy of the gospel. We who follow Jesus are the light and salt of
this world. We must not become disciples
of Jesus who have lost their taste. Rather,
we must shine the light of Jesus into this dark world. We must live our lives reflecting good deeds. We must give up our hypocrisy and live a life
of harmony in words and deeds. Also, we
should not judge others, but rather live a life of love where we treat them and
show mercy to them. Also, as we are wary
of false prophets, we should not lay up treasures on this earth. And we should enter the small gate that the
Lord walked through and walk the narrow path.
And we must walk with the faith that Jesus also marvels. We must also serve the eternal God for eternal
things with eternal values. We should never serve God and money at the same
time. As followers of Jesus, who died on
the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, we must live a holy life separate
from the world. And we must live a
fruitful life for the Lord. We are to be
wise men and women who build the Lord's church and our homes on the rock of
Jesus Christ. To do this, we must pray
to our Heavenly Father. We must pray in
faith the prayer that the Lord taught us. And we should go ahead and pray to Heavenly
Father without worrying about tomorrow. Therefore,
I hope and pray that we will enjoy the grace of salvation more and more fully
by receiving prayers answered by Heavenly Father.
