Things I think about when I am on Holiday

The Great Commission

When I was a younger Christian, I used to think that building disciples to win souls is for God's purposes. Not that I don't think it's for God's purposes now, but the understanding of the great commission has changed.

Before it was like a drive to share about the gospel as much and as frequently so that more people will get to know Christ, work towards being a disciple so that more souls will be won. Now, it's really about sharing how much God loves us and how we can share this amazing love and power with others.  Some people argue that it's no longer sufficient to merely feel loved by God, but that we must apply our faith by ensuring that justice and morality is promoted. However, I feel that knowing fully that we are loved by God gives us the assurance that we have nothing to prove, knowing fully that we are loved by God allows us to put our lives in His hands so that we are no longer fighting for what's not essential, so that we can rest assure that whatever happens, God has our back and that gives us the strength to go beyond what we think we cannot do. Need I add about the power of the Holy trinity that helps us go behind what is humanly impossible.

So the great commission to me is really about sharing about the goodness of God so that others will want to know God more and God will naturally and certainly put in our hearts the desire to share His love with others. And the cycle goes on. And I believe that being more deliberate about this is also from God. Everything is from God, revolves around God, and comes out through God!
