Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...

Matthew 28:19(RSV)

 

Mission has nothing to do with location but everything to do with obedience. In other words, living a missional life is not optional or an afterthought. It is integral to our Christian identity.

We can’t follow Jesus without inviting others to do the same.

A missional life entails more than simply going on a mission trip to a third-world country. Rather, the missional life is about fully aligning ourselves with what Jesus has purposed for us. The gospel infiltrates every aspect of our lives, instilling values and convictions that are consistent with God's kingdom. When we adopt this way of life, we learn to thrive in Jesus and seek out opportunities to plant seeds, and trusting God to reap what has been sown. However, we do not treat people like numbers or projects. In Jesus' name, we embrace them with love and care, praying for a positive response to the gospel.

We already have everything we need to lead a missional life.

When we are born again in Christ, we receive His Spirit, which empowers us to live the good news and be examples of it. As a result, wherever we are and whatever we do, we purposefully proclaim and demonstrate the reality of God's Kingdom.

Keep in mind that a missional life does not begin with service. It starts with worship, which leads to a life of loving obedience, commitment, and service. If worship is absent, we are driven by the wrong motivations, and whatever we do ends up becoming unsustainable and unhealthy. Learn to keep your worship fresh and authentic, and you will be inspired to live well for God.
