THIS NOTION THAT CHRIST HAS SUFFERED IT ALL FOR OUR SMOOTH RIDE TO ETERNAL SALVATION IS A LIE. [2 TIMOTHY, 2: 12]

CHRIST CHOSEN APOSTLES:

WE WERE CALLED AND MANDATED TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. [MARK, 16: 15-16]

AND THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE DONE IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON. [2 TIMOTHY, 4: 2]

WE ARE NOT TO STATION OURSELVES COMFORTABLY IN A BUILDING AND PREACH TO THE SAME SET OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT READY TO REPENT, BUT TO GO FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, PREACHING THE GOSPEL. [MATT. 28: 19-20]

WE WERE NOT CALLED TO ONLY PREACH THE GOSPEL TO MEMBERS OF OUR DENOMINATION, OR OUR KINSMEN.

IF WE ARE TO BE FRUITFUL IN HIS VINEYARD, OUR ROOTS MUST PENETRATE FAR BEYOND THE FIRST LAYER OF SOIL. THAT MEANS TO SAY: WE MUST BUCKLE UP AND GET OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE.

THIS NOTION THAT CHRIST HAS SUFFERED IT ALL FOR OUR SMOOTH RIDE TO ETERNAL SALVATION IS A LIE.

[2 TIMOTHY, 2: 12]

[1 PETER, 2: 21] “FOR TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED, BUT CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED FOR US, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN HIS STEP.”

IN CONCLUSION: WE WERE CREATED AND CALLED TO THE VINEYARD PURPOSELY FOR THIS TASK, TO NOW COWER IN FEAR AND FALTER IN OUR MISSION IS NOT AN OPTION.

WE ARE MEMBERS OF: “THE WAY OF THE CROSS”

A NON-DENOMINATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF CHRIST FOLLOWERS.

WE ARE OBLIGATED TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO ALL SOULS AND EMPHASIZE THE GRACE OF ETERNAL SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, WHILE INFORMING THE WORLD OF THE LIVING ABOUT THE MERCY OF GOD FOR SINNERS NOW THAT THERE’S STILL TIME TO REPENT, AND WARN THE STONE-HEARTED OF THE IMPENDING CONSEQUENCES FOR THE UNREPENTANT.
