Philippians 1:1-11

When a person becomes a Christian they are added to the Lord's church. Every member has a place and role. Paul shows us that when the whole body is living out its mission and members have a mind to work the body itself makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. This is how the church grows.

It is because of the gospel that we live out the Great Commission. The gospel message that grabbed our hearts and took hold of our lives is what we want everyone else to know and that's our mission. Jesus told his followers to go and make more followers. And he told us how: Make disciples of all nations by baptizing them into Jesus and teaching them to follow his words.

When I believe the gospel message, I'm drawn to God and his love for me and I seek to know him more and more and my love for him grows. Jesus taught us that the most important thing is for the Christian is to love God with all of our being. When I grasp the gospel message, my whole being wants to love God with my all.
