To Do Gods Will
Matt 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.(Q) 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,(R) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,(S) 20 and teaching(T) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you(U) always, to the very end of the age.”(V)
One of the most asked questions and prayers to God goes something like this.
"Lord what should I do?"
It sounds like a reasonable & honorable question, It is in fact a waisted question & quite often a very selfish question.
What we refer to as the "Great Commission" is not called that because it is a small undertaking. It is the call of every believer, it is the life pursuit of every disciple of Christ.
Read it again,
It is not an American Idea,
It is not a Religious Idea,
It does not exclude anyone.
It's a God Idea!
GO! Make Disciples of ALL NATIONS
When we do this, we realize that this is a life long calling. It has no end until Jesus returns, and no one knows when that will be. If by some chance this first part of this scripture is not specific enough for you, Jesus continues on the "HOW" we do this. We Baptize the new believers into the Kingdom. We teach them all the ways Jesus lived His life and we do our best to live a life that model Christ to the world. Finally we see them Filled with the Holt Spirit, Fully empowered by God to walk in strength and humbleness to reach out to the world they influence.
Finally we realize that we will win the world to Christ not by killing this with our Religious "Bombs" (for the sake of US Homeland Security the word Bombs is Metaphorical…..got it!) but by pouring our the Love of Christ over their lives.
Loving someone doest mean your agree with their live style or life choices, it mean you are being obedient to the Word of God!
Have a Blessed week & Love someone today!
