Purpose

God’s Purpose: The Word of God charges every Christian with the responsibility of taking the Gospel to the whole world. Our Lord, Jesus Christ has ordained that the local church and its members keep the Great Commandments of love, and carry out the Great Commission with Great Compassion.

Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 

Our Purpose: Our purpose is to fulfill the Great Commandment to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves and to fulfill the Great Commission, that the Gospel be preached to all the world, and that the sick are to be healed.

Mark 16:15-1815 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
