Five Biblical Purposes
[Life and Church]
Matthew 22:36-40; 28:19-20
"Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?" [37] Jesus replied: 'LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD with all your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind.' [38] This is the first and greatest commandment. [39] And the second is like it: 'LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself.' [40] All the Law and the Prophets hang on these commandments."-Matthew 22:36-40 [NIV]
"Therefore GO AND MAKE DICIPLES of all nations, BAPTIZING THEM in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] and TEACHING THEM to obey everything I have commanded you. And surly I am with you always, to the very end of the age."-Matthew 28:19-20 [NIV]
A Great COMMITMENT to a Great COMMANDMENT and the Great COMMISSION will grow a Great CHURCH |
