Fellowship with Christians God calls and saves His elect people across the globe from every ethnic people group, not only to worship and enjoy Him forever, but so that we have fellowship with each other in the church. God has a people, and His people will worship and commune with Him forever. There are manyContinue reading “Goal 12: Fellowship with Christians”

Worshipping and delighting in God In the history of the Christian church some believers (those who drafted the Westminster Catechism) said the goal of life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! I believe that this is what the Bible teaches. To glorify God and worship Him is why God has made us. AndContinue reading “Goal 11: Worshipping and Delighting in God”

Living the crucified life with Christ One of the goals in evangelism and making God known is that people see the worth of Jesus Christ as their supreme treasure and consequently commit their lives to Him as their Lord and King. When people know how valuable Christ is and come to know His supreme authorityContinue reading “Goal 10: Living the Crucified life with Christ”

Obedience to God What is the goal of evangelism? It is to make God known and to multiply the number of Christians in the world, i.e. people who will worship and obey God. The goal of the Christian life is to please God:   when we evangelize and proclaim the gospel, we have this in mind.Continue reading “Goal 9: Obedience to God”

Reading, meditating, studying and delighting in the Scriptures In a very real sense, God has saved us to His word, that we should meditate on it. God saves His people for Himself and for communication and communion. He communicates with His people primarily through His word. He communicates with all people through what we seeContinue reading “Goal 8: Reading, Meditating and Delighting in Scripture”

Living by faith in future grace You might ask me where I got this title of living “by faith in future grace”? A few years ago, I read a book by John Piper called “Future Grace”. In this book he speaks of the fact that we as believers in Christ don’t only live from theContinue reading “Goal 7: Living by Faith in Future Grace”

Communion with God  Man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We were made to have fellowship with God. As the church father Augustine said: the heart of man is restless until it finds rest in God. Without communion and fellowship with God our hearts will remain restless and confused. In fact, withoutContinue reading “Goal 6: Communion with God”

Discipleship and Church planting  The goal of evangelism, to make God known, is not only to see people being saved, but to make disciples of Jesus Christ, of those who get converted. Jesus made it clear in the Great Commission to his disciples before he went to heaven 2,000 years ago: “And Jesus came andContinue reading “Goal 5: Discipleship and Church Planting”

Justification and Adoption  When God converts sinners through the means that He has appointed, namely the preaching of the gospel, and the prayers of the saints, and the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, bringing the dead to life, and granting faith in Christ and repentance towards God – it is then that God justifies andContinue reading “Goal 4: Justification and Adoption”

Conversion of unbelievers  The reason why we are involved in this great task is that we want people to be reconciled to God. We want unsaved people to experience the blessing we have experienced, of knowing God. We don’t evangelize by using quick fixes and underhand methods. So many evangelists hurry people through the gospelContinue reading “Goal 3: Conversion of Unbelievers”
