The Biblical Basis for Christian Missions The Bible is a missionary book and , when one studies it with this in mind, he becomes aware that God’s concern for humankind everywhere is the golden thread holding the entire Book together. Missions is the method by which through human agents God extends His Kingdom among men, women, boys and girls until it shall come to be universal. All who are saved are constituted agents of salvation. They are sent by their Savior to other men and so are missionaries. The Bible is the story of God’s work in bringing a lost world into His Kingdom. The Bible is therefore the textbook of missions. The Bible is the Constitution, The Magna Charter of the Missionary Enterprise. The Bible is essentially a missionary book. It is God’s Manual for making a missionary people. Concerning the Missionary Enterprise we see: 1. The Origin of Missions: (a) 1st Timothy 2:3-4 (b) John 3:16-17 (c) John 20:21 (d) 2nd Corinthians 5:18-19 2. The Message of Missions: Acts 2:21 3. The Method of Missions: Luke 24:46-48 4. The Motive of Missions: 2nd Corinthians 5:14 5. The Power of Missions: Acts 5:32 6. The Good of Missions: It is that every man, woman, boy, or girl, in all the earth will ac knowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and that justice will reign in all the earth. (a) Revelation 11:15 (b) Revelation 15:4 (c) Isaiah 42:4 |
