…Christ in Every Nation (Psalm 2: 8)
“Praise the Lord, all you nations;
Extol him, all you peoples.” (Psa.117:1)
God’s purpose revealed in the text is that He will be praised or worshiped among all peoples, tribes, and races. He planned long ago that the Gentiles will be saved and glorify Him. Therefore, the task of a mission-minded Church does not stop at evangelizing her immediate area; it includes taking the gospel to other cultures, planting of local Churches where non-existed.
As Christians, we believe the Bible to be the revelation of God and His will, and the Bible has revealed missions as God’s will from Genesis to Revelation. Mission is very important to God because God wants the whole of mankind o be reconciled unto Him.
- John 3:16 – God loves the world.
- 1 Tim. 2:4 – God wants all men to be saved.
- Matt 28:18-20 – The command to ‘Go’ and make disciples of all nations
