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.

The word of the Lord is:

word of the Lord is:
"When
I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,'
and
you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him
from
his wicked way to save his life,
that
wicked person will die for his sin,
and I
will hold you accountable for his blood.
But
if you warn the wicked
and
he does not turn from his wickedness and sin,
he
will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
If a
righteous person turns from righteousness and commits sin,
I
will put a stumbling block before him;
he
will die since you did not warn him.
His
righteous acts will not be remembered,
and I
will hold you accountable for his death.
But
if you warn the righteous person not to sin and he does not sin,
he
will surely live because he took warning,
and
you will have saved yourself
(Ezekiel
3:18-21).
