Since God has many people to be won by the Gospel in the city, we will not be prevented by hostile action from continuing our missionary work until God’s purpose is complete.
God is knowable, and He desires that every person on earth should know Him; so we now join His Mission to declare this unchanging Good News into an ever-changing culture.
God has sent messengers to proclaim the light of His truth to a lost, sin-darkened world; and this message is met with different responses - from anger, to curiosity, to life-transforming joy.
God’s sovereign rule brings good results out of bad circumstances, especially when His people experience persecution. As a result, they are able to praise Him in any and all circumstances, because He saves, protects, and preserves.
The nature of the Gospel is that we do not do things to earn God’s favor. Yet the nature of the Gospel is that since God has given us his unmerited favor in Jesus Christ, we take steps to seek to win the favor of others for the sake of the multiplication of the Gospel.
The Apostle Paul asked to take this young man named Timothy along with him directly into harm's way for the sake of the multiplication of the Gospel, and his mother, passing on her rich heritage of sincere faith, actually let him go!
It is our desire to let the Gospel be our central focus so that our inclination is toward going and sending, our approach is to make disciples, and our personnel love the Mission more than getting their own way. The result will be Gospel-Centered Multiplication.
What Jesus began to do and to teach is continued by the Holy Spirit in the Church. The work of the Holy Spirit in both the Church and in the world is unstoppable. He has an unwavering zeal for the glory of Jesus Christ. Everything He does is measured by Jesus and glorifies Jesus.
Sometimes we do not get the thing that we hoped for, because are hopes are simply too high; but other times we do not get the thing we hoped for, because are hopes are too low. To place our hopes in Jesus is to never have your hopes too high.
