Biblical Missionaries
The Great Commission

The Christian mission is Gods


mission, not ours. It originated
in the heart of God. It is based
on the love of God. And it is
accomplished by the will of
God.
To better understand Gods
mission commitment and
involvement, this quarters

Biblical Missionaries
The Great Commission

1. God created men and


women and gave them free
will.
2. The first man and woman
abused their free will by
disobeying God, and they had
to leave Paradise.

The Great Commission

4. God sent His Son on a


mission to die in their place
and reconcile them to Him.
5. Gods mission is to make
the offer of salvation known to
all people and, thus, open the
way for them to have
Redemption.

Biblical Missionaries
The Great Commission

At its most basic level,


mission is letting the whole
world know about Jesus and
about what He has done
for each of us and about what
He promises to do for us, now
and
for eternity.
In short, we who know about

Our Goal

We will look at mission first


and foremost as Gods means
for commu-nicating the gospel.
Mission is a core part of Gods
sovereign activity in the

We will study how Gods
eternal purpose has been

The Missionary Nature of God


Initial Words

We have not been left alone,


abandoned in the infinite
expanse of a cold and
apparently uncaring cosmos to
fend for ourselves. We could
never do it; the forces arrayed
against us are so much greater
than we are.
Thats why God had the plan

1. Creating Humans With Free Will

Genesis 2:16, 17 NKJV

And the Lord God


commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden
you may eat; but of the tree of
the knowledge of good and
evil you shall not eat.
For in the day that you eat of

1. Creating Humans With Free Will


Unlike Other Creatures

1. Created last of all


creatures. They had the whole
visible Creation in front of
them to study and care for.
2. Gods mode for creating
was different. The Three
Persons of the Godhead
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
consulted about it. The main

1. Creating Humans With Free Will


Unlike Other Creatures

3. Created in Gods image and


likeness. It means that to
some degree humans must
reflect His moral character.
4. Created to have dominion.
To represent God on earth,
and rule over the rest of
Creation. This calling entails
responsibility.

1. Creating Humans With Free Will


Capacity for Moral Judgment

The creation of man and


woman was special. God
created them for Himself. God
wanted them to make their
own choices, to choose to
worship Him voluntarily
without being forced to.
Otherwise, they could not love
Him, because love, to be true

1. Creating Humans With Free Will


Capacity for Moral Judgment

Because of its divine origin,


human free will is protected
and respected by God. The
Creator does not interfere
with the deepest, per- sistent
choices of men and women.
Wrong choices have
consequences, sometimes
very terrible ones, too, but it

2. Initiating Human Salvation

Genesis 3:8, 9 NKJV

And they heard the sound of


the Lord God walking in the
garden in the cool of the day,
and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence
of the Lord God among the
trees of the garden.
Then the Lord God called to

2. Initiating Human Salvation


The Fall

Adam and Eve had to leave


Paradise. A necessary yet
merciful consequence. The
Lord would not allow
rebellious humanity access to
the tree of life.
With loving care, He kept
Adam and Eve away from the
fruit that would make them

2. Initiating Human Salvation


The Recovery

What a powerful metaphor for


the fallen human race: they
flee the One who comes
looking for them, the only
One who could save them.
People are still doing the
same thing today. Fortunately,
God did not cast aside our
first parents, nor does He cast

3. Expressing Mission in Metaphors

Matthew 5:13, 14 NKJV

You are the salt of the


earth; but if the salt loses its
flavor, how shall it be
seasoned? ...

You are the light of the world.

3. Expressing Mission in Metaphors


Christian Influence

Gods saving mission is


motivated by His love for
each one of us. There is no
deeper reason for it.
As Christ was sent by the
Father to save the world, He
in turn sends His disciples
with the words as the
Father has sent me, I am

3. Expressing Mission in Metaphors


Christian Influence

The metaphors of salt and


light express core functions of
Christian influence on
humanity.
While salt operates internally,
joining the mass with which it
comes in contact, light
operates externally,

3. Expressing Mission in Metaphors


Christian Influence

The term earth in the salt


metaphor refers to men and
women with whom Christians
are expected to mix,
while the phrase light of the
world refers to a world of
people in darkness and in
need of illumination.

Final Words

The church of Christ on


earth was organized for
missionary purposes, and the
Lord desires to see the entire
church devising ways and
