We tend to emphasize the individual benefits of the gospel.
Like the way it…
Restores one with God… gives assurance of eternal life… and provides comfort in life and in death.
But we must ask…
If the gospel is primarily about individual benefits, why does Jesus command His people to disciple all the nations?
Is the answer not clear that….
The gospel is about more than the individual benefits it brings… and includes God’s intent to transform nations as they learn to obey Him?
Indeed, it’s the gospel that sets us free on the inside–as individuals.
But it does so that we’d make a difference on the outside world–together.
So then…
In keeping with a famous quote:
Ask not what Jesus can do for you, but ask what you can do to bless your nation as Jesus does His work through you.
“To the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations” (Rev. 2:26).
