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.

If we
continue to receive warnings from the true pastors sent by God
but
do not listen to God's words, we will be detested by all people.
Additionally,
we will be cast out from God's presence,
becoming
objects of curse, ridicule, and scorn wherever we go
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 29:18-19; Jonah 2:4).
If we turn away from the
commandments God has given us ...
If we
turn away from the commandments God has given us
and
do not obey Him and do not act according to His word,
but
instead follow the wicked stubbornness of our hearts
and
idolize wealth and serve it,
God
will bring disaster upon us
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 9:13-14).
If we turn away from God
and idolize wealth, pursue money and serve it ...
If we
turn away from God and idolize wealth, pursue money and serve it,
forsake
God, do not keep God's commandments, and sin against God,
God
will take away our joy and peace and withdraw His love and mercy
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 16:5, 9-11).
If we do not listen to
God's words ...
If we
do not listen to God's words,
God
will make even the most beautiful place a desolate place
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 22:5-6).
If we have rejected the word of God, we have no
wisdom.
If we
have rejected the word of God, we have no wisdom.
Therefore
we cannot say, ‘We have wisdom and the word of God.’
Therefore
we do not know what God requires of us.
We
will be put to shame, embarrassed, and trapped.
All
this is because the lying tongues of false pastors have made the word of God a
lie
(Ref.:
Jeremiah 8:7-9).
