The Body of Christ- Why do we go?
Why? Because God asks us to go – He sends us.
What does he ask us to do?
Micah 6:8 what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Matthew 28: 19.20 “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.”
So what does God expect of us when we go?
Bring Justice, mercy, humility to our neighbor & make disciples
How do members of the Body follow those instructions? Vocation!
A neighbor-oriented perspective on Christian living - that develops from the foundation of Grace alone, Faith Alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone.
But just as God equips the body when He gathers it, he also equips it when he sends it too.
So why do we go? Because God sends us!
What does he send us to do? By giving us a vocation to serve our neighbor!
How does he equip us to answer that call? Vocations.
