a missionary god
the living god is a missionary god.
the bible has a record of how god goes about re-establishing the rule of god in the hearts of man. jesus' supreme "obsession" is the proclaiming of the kingdom of god.
god is the creator of all mankind. his kingdom however was "usurped". mankind has lost their "manual of operation" (source of life)
why missions?
1. every man has the right to come to know their creator
2. not all nations know about their creator. so they need to be confronted, to know that they need to come back to their creator
3. every man should be given the chance to choose to accept or refuse god's gift of salvation
