Proverbs 24:10-12 NIV “If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?” https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.24.10-12.NIV
The Great Commission is the mission of every Christian. That we would understand and embrace this truth. Every asset at our disposal is to be employed as much as possible toward this work so that God’s kingdom comes and His will is done on earth as it is in heaven. We do this so that men are rescued from hell, the goal of our Savior’s sacrifice, and the purpose for His command to us to make disciples. We do this work because it is the Father’s delight to reward His faithful children for their work done in love for Him. We are encouraged to store up treasure in heaven to receive His reward and obtain a bonus in that reward by suffering for His Name, just as they maligned and persecuted the Savior when He lived among us as one of us. We have been afraid to identify with Jesus for the better part of 70 years, having lost our influence in media and education, fearing instead ridicule and estrangement from our peers and culture, rather than fearing God, Who Judges all souls for heaven and hell. God will repay our efforts, whether good or bad, for obeying the Great Commission. We must love God more, increasing our gratefulness for His salvation, so that we serve Him more. We must love people more, increasing our compassion for rescuing their souls from hell, should they die apart from following Jesus as Lord. Our mission is the Great Commission: to seek and save the lost, then teach obedience to everything Jesus commands. God is watching, God is weighing, and God will reward us based on our allegiance to Him, as proven by our obedience to Him.
