GOD IS HOLY Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. ~ Leviticus 19:2 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” ~ Revelation 4:8

  16. God is holy, but God is NOT holiness.God IS…

  17. God is holy, but God is NOT holiness.God IS… God is SPIRIT, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. ~ John 4:24 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all. ~ 1 John 1:5 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is LOVE. ~ 1 John 4:8, 16

  21. THE GREAT COMMANDMENT(S) Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the secondis like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” ~ Matthew 22:34-40

  30. OUR MOTIVE FOR MISSION Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Thereforego and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:16-20

  31.  Other Motivations for Evangelism • Compassion, Care, Love, Blessing • Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14 • …all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. • Matthew 9:35-38; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Luke 15 • Salvation from sin and judgment • Romans 1:16; 2 Corinthians 5:9-11; • Acts 3:23; 4:12; 17:31; 24:25

  32. What common motivation is conspicuously absent?

  33. Gospel Proclamation In Acts • 13:16-41 • 14:15-17 • 16:30-32 • 17:22-31 • 19:8-10 • 22:1-21 • 24:10-21 • 26:1-29 2:14-40 3:12-26 4:8-12 5:29-32 7:2-53 8:26-35 10:34-43 11:20

  34. Why isn’t hell emphasized as a motivation in evangelism?

  35.  Why isn’t hell emphasized as a motivation in evangelism? Will You Marry Me?

  36. What is the Gospel? Good News Greek = Euangelion (Latin = Evangelium) Evangel / Evangelism / Evangelist / Evangelical VS Soteria= Salvation (Vampire Christians) (Evangelical VS Soterian)

  37. What the Gospel is NOT… 1. A ticket to heaven. (Thy kingdom come) 2. A get out of hell free pass. (Conspicuous absence) 3. One theory of atonement. (Most Evangelicals) 4. A particular theology. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

  38. Debates & Misunderstandings I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon, A Defence of Calvinism
