ministry that the Lord's commanded ‘Evangelism'

Mark 28:16~20 God is love.

 

He is the God of love and righteousness. God has abundant love for those who have the desire to be loved by Him. He, however, denies forever those who reject His love. God's love for mankind is the life of Jesus Christ, the unconditional service for us.

 

 God sent Jesus into the world to serve human beings - that's His Son's life and death. Our Savior redeemed us from the evil spirits by evangelism and driving out demons. He came here to die for the wages of our sin by his suffering and death, to become unmeasurable grace for us. Saints who are saved by the blood of Jesus, should serve deservedly with thanksgiving, just as Abraham sacrificed his only son, Isaac, as a burnt offering with thanksgiving on the mountain of Moriah.

 

Therefore the reality of our Christianity came from the people who received God's grace. The meeting of the congregations is a church. The ministry of the church should aim for giving thanks to God. This is the requirement of the Lord who has given us His grace. And whatever we do, whether in word or deed, we should do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).

 

This is the requirement of the Bible and the conscience of our faith We should serve God with all our heart and strength knowing clearly how we are loved by Him. This is also the confession and testimony of God's favored ones. This is the ministry of those who know undoubtedly that they are freed and saved from so many miserable sins and curses. “Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.” (Luke 7:47).

 

Even so, we are loved by the Lord equally. It would be different to be spiritually awakened to how unsearchable God's love is for us! We can serve our Lord with all our heart and strength giving all our life in full, and even laying down our life without reluctance, that is, preaching the Gospel. Evangelism can reproduce the life of Jesus Christ by the power of signs and miracles(Mark 16:15~18). And surely He is with those who go and make disciples of all nations always, to the end of the age. The ministry of us is to be shepherds of the church of God, which He brought with His own blood (Acts 20:28).

 

The Holy Spirit has given strength to God's favored ones whose sins have been forgiven, to be faithful to the Lord with thanksgiving for the unlimited grace, just like Paul and Peter had been. Saving souls is the most worthy and ultimate ministry that we who are saved by the blood of the Lamb of God, should do even to the point of death.
