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.

Only those who believe
in Jesus are justified.
We cannot be justified by the law of Moses
(Acts 13:39).
If we try to be justified by keeping the law,

we have fallen away from God's grace
(Galatians 5:4).
No one will be justified in God's sight by

We know that a person is not justified by

and not by observing the law,
because no one will be justified by observing
the law
(Galatians 2:16).
Through Jesus everyone who believes is set free
from every sin
(Acts 13:39).
