The World: The motive for missions. Mark 16:15 All Christians are to go into the world bearing the good news of salvation to all who will hear it. The Gospel is comprised of three essential components. Jesus died for the sins of all those who will believe on Him by faith. After Jesus died, His body was placed in a grave. His soul, however, went to that place beneath the earth where the souls of the departed were being held. Abraham’s Bosom. Here is where all the ancient saints of God waited for redemption to be accomplished. There was, and still is, another portion of that place called Hell. Here is where all the souls of the lost are deposited. Every lost sinner from Cain to the last one to die today is there. Jesus walked into that place and proclaimed the good news that He had died for sin and sinners. One significant component of salvation is the truth that Jesus sets free every soul He saves! Jesus Christ arose from the grave in victory and power. That is the message we have been given to preach. It is the good news that Jesus Christ loved the world so much that He gave His life to redeem sinners. If you have believed that message, I challenge you to share it with others. If you have not believed that message, I challenge you look to Jesus by faith today and be saved! The command is Go ye. It is a command for each and every child of God to be active in the business of sharing the Gospel of salvation!
