“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”    -John 3:16 (NIV)

 

“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” 

-Matthew 16:18b

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Romans 12:4-5 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

 

1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (NIV)

 

Thus, Responsibility For others . . . 

 

Call is to move beyond our Cultural Consumers to the Community Contributors.

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go 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.” (NIV)
