Holding to truth in love,
we may grow up into Him in all things,
who is the Head,
Christ.
Ephesians 4:15
Two Foundational Truths
In God's Present and Future Work
Unto the Testimony and Return of Jesus Christ:
The All-Extensive Work of Ministry
The All-Inclusive Ground of the Church
When we apply the Scriptural truths and pattern regarding the all-extensive
work of diverse ministries, the gospel will then reach all diverse peoples
in the "whole inhabited earth for a testimony ...and then the end will come."
When we apply the Scriptural truths and pattern regarding the all-inclusive
work of the church, we will then receive all believers for the building up of
all the Body, unto the fullness of the testimony and return of Jesus Christ.
(Matt. 24:14; 28:19; Act 13:47; 1 Cor. 9:22; 12:4-6; Rom. 15:7; Eph. 4:11-16; Phil. 1:18; 1 Tim. 2:1,4; 2 Tim. 4:5; Titus 2:11; Heb. 1:1)
The all-extensive work of diverse ministries extends Christ as salvation to all men.
The all-inclusive ground of scriptural churches includes and builds up all believers.
"For so the Lord has commanded us, I have set you as a light of the Gentiles,
that you would be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Acts 13:47
All diversity of ministries in all the Body of Christ are required for bringing salvation to,
and for building up, all diversity of persons and peoples in all the inhabited earth.
"So then, let us pursue the things of peace and the things for building up one another."
Romans 14:19
