More insight

In the same book that I was reading, it talks about the Great Commission and how it is among the most important of the tests we now face...the future of missions. It gives statistics of the church seemingly losing it's "voice" in missions. The late Carl F. H. Henry said that the words of support for the missionary cause are meaningless if we don't produce a new generation of bold, courageous, and committed Christian missionaries. Christians MUST take our stand for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has made atonement for our sins. We MUST point to the only gospel that offers salvation. We MUST learn again to define the true gospel in terms of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This is the sum and substance of the genuine gospel - and the true gospel is always a missionary gospel.
