‘When the Holy Spirit comes on you… you will be My witnesses… to the
ends of the earth’(Acts 1:8). This great advance of the Gospel -
Salvation reaches ‘the Gentiles’(Acts 10:45; Acts 11:1,18) - is a
movement of ‘the Spirit’(Acts 11:12). The Spirit speaks through the Word
(10:44; 11:15). In God’s Word, we read of (a) God’s love for the whole
world (John 3:16); (b) God’s Son who died for ‘the sins of the whole
world’(John 1:29; 1 John 2:2); (c) God’s command that ‘the Good News’
should be preached to ‘everyone’(Mark 16:15); (d) God’s purpose that
there should be disciples of Christ in every nation (Matthew 28:19).
‘Every person in every nation, in each succeeding generation, has the
right to hear the News that Christ can save… Here am I, send me’(Youth
Praise,128). ‘Go forth and tell!’(Mission Praise, 178).
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
