It should be one of our greatest concerns
that His Name be great among the nations from the rising
to the setting of the sun (Malachi 1:11).
Our great purpose and motivation should not be
in man or his needs, but in God, we should desire to see
Him worshipped in every nation, tribe, people and
language.
We can find great confidence not in the Church's
ability to fulfill the Great Commission, but in God's
unlimited and unhindered power to accomplish all He has
decreed.
If we are truly Christlike, the lost
multitude of humanity will move us to compassion
(Matthew 9:36), even to great sorrow and
unceasing grief (Romans 9:2). The sincerity
of our Christian confession should be questioned
if we are not willing to do all within our means
to make Christ known among the nations and to
endure all things for the sake of God's elect
(2 Timothy 2:10).
We are as Christians
called, commissioned, and commanded to lay down
our lives so that the Gospel might be preached
to every creature under heaven.
