Paul lived on-mission. He proclaimed the gospel with his words and modeled the gospel with his life. Therefore, Christians should boldly proclaim the truth of the gospel and pour out their lives as they eagerly wait to be called into God’s eternal kingdom and glory!

Having been redeemed and reconciled to God through faith in Christ, Jesus commands and empowers his disciples to go and make more disciples of all nations. Therefore, this mission should be our mission, and it should be central to every aspect of our lives.

Unity requires humility. The greatest example is the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for us, but is now exalted over ALL creation. Therefore true believers in Christ workout their salvation, evidenced by unity and humility, knowing they will be exalted for God’s good pleasure.

God calls believers in Christ to give up their rights, adjust their preferences, and discipline their lives so that others might believe in Jesus. When we lose our lives for the sake the gospel, we ensure that we have truly been saved and will not be disqualified.

In an age of consumerism, Christians are tempted to view the church as a place to take rather than to serve. But God’s people are called to a life of making disciples. Therefore, it is each member’s responsibility and joy to entrust God’s Word to others and multiply disciples for God's glory.

All of humanity is prone to be anxious about life, but there is a better way to live. Jesus commands His followers to not be anxious, but to see God’s care, seek first God’s kingdom, and trust God’s provision. Therefore, we are called to prioritize His kingdom daily and trust Him with our lives.

God’s ongoing work in the lives of believers to empower them to put sin to death and grow in righteousness makes them confident of their salvation, encourages them to live godly lives, and makes them effective to carry out His mission.

God brings salvation to sinful humanity, accomplishing justification through His own work and offering His grace as a gift. He shows his righteousness to the world through the death and resurrection of Jesus and unites His people with their Savior. Therefore, if God is truly for us, who could possibly be against us? We should glory in our salvation and live for God!

The new birth is a work of the Spirit that results in looking to Jesus by faith and being saved by His finished work on the cross. If we’re going to enter the Kingdom of God, we must look to Jesus for our salvation, and keep looking to Jesus for our sanctification, knowing that the Spirit will change us!

The doctrine of original sin helps us understand that we are all sinners without excuse, which means we have been separated from our good, generous, and gracious Creator ever since the Garden of Eden. As a result, only One can represent us, reconcile us, and resurrect us: the Lord Jesus Christ.
