“Every true disciple is born into the kingdom of God as a missionary.” The Desire of Ages, p. 195. Everyone is a disciple. The responsibility for the church’s mission is given to God’s people as a whole. When Jesus said to his disciples, You shall be my witnesses to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8), the original language word you meant you the group, not you the individual. You are the salt of the earth . . . . You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:13, 14). But you are . . . God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:10). For you are all one in Christ (Galatians 3:28). Primary ministry. The church’s task certainly includes ministry to the body. But it must always have a primary focus to those outside the church It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 49:6). But you are . . . a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” 1 Peter 2:9 Do you have Friends, co-workers, neighbors or family members in need of LOVE? God wants you to introduce them to him by sharing the truth.
