God's promises are important

The Bible gives us our mandate.

It is very actual and relevant in our time. Stott says our mandate is found:

• in the creation of God (because of which all human beings are responsible to Him)
• in the character of God (as outgoing, loving, compassionate, not willing that any should perish, desiring that all should come to repentance)
• in the promises of God (that all nations will be blessed through Abraham's seed and will become the Messiah's inheritance)
• in the Christ of God (now exalted with universal authority, to receive universal acclaim)
• in the Spirit of God (who convicts of sin, witnesses to Christ, and impels the Church to evangelize)
• in the Church of God (which is a multinational, missionary community, under orders to evangelize until

and today's focus • in the promises of God (that all nations will be blessed through Abraham's seed and will become the Messiah's inheritance)

This is how we can tell others that they can begin an intimate relationship with Him right now. You can begin to personally know God in this life on earth, and after death into eternity. Here is God's promise to us:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

The church is rooted in the concept of the Missio Dei, which recognizes that there is one mission, and it is God’s mission. The Missio Dei is a Latin theological term that can be translated as “Mission of God.” The word missio literally means sent. The church is not an end in itself; the church is sent into the world to fulfill the mission of God.
