God’s Mission Strategy For The World: 7 Acts

A Biblical Perspective  –  God’s Will For Reaching The Nations

If you are serious about evangelism, then you must add the works of Scott Moreau and Christopher Wright to your library. The following proposal is a synthesis of their work. The Evangelization of the world has been the mission of God since the beginning of time. The God of the Bible is a “sending God” with a heart for the peoples of all nations. We see his passion demonstrated throughout the pages of biblical history and supported by natural history and sciences. God is missional. God’s purpose and goal is His entire creation. One can say that the lives of people lived over thousands of years is a divine drama “divided into a series of Acts following the lives of the people it portrays as they struggle with the reality of a broken world and their own yearnings to connect to the One in whose image they are made” (Moreau, 25).

God reaches out to the nations through Mission, working through His people (Missionaries) who engage the world through acts of Missions.

Mission –  This is everything the church is doing that points toward the kingdom of God Missions – This is specific work conducted by the church and agencies in the task of reaching people for Christ by crossing cultural boundaries Missionaries – A prepared Disciple whom God sends into the world with His resources to make Disciples for His Kingdom(Moreau, 17 – 18)
