ObeyGC2: Helping people help themselves and others
The primary emphasis communicated in this summary is that of the intentionally reproductive and multiplicative nature of service characterized by ObeyGC2 values. We are blessed to be a blessing. That is the upshot of the call of Abraham and the promise God made to him. We are spiritual descendants of Abraham and inherit the same calling and the same promise. This was God’s intention for the nation of Israel as well, although they did rather less well in fulfilling it. We are the spiritual Israel, adopted into God’s family. Let’s live it out.
Matt 10:7-8
7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Luke 12:48b
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
2 Tim 2:1b-3
Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
