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.

How did Job not blame
God even after losing everything?
After losing his ten
children and all his possessions,
Job worshiped God and
said:
'Naked I came from my
mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gave, and the
Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord
be praised.'
Despite all this, Job
did not sin or blame God
(Job 1:20-22).
When I reflect on this
passage,
I wonder how Job did not
blame God even after losing everything.
If he had been a
believer who pursued a prosperity gospel,
he surely would have
blamed God.
However, Job praised and
worshiped God
even after losing all
his children and possessions.
I believe he was able to
do this because his faith was based on knowing
who God is and
recognizing God's sovereignty.
