Being a Part of God's Work in the World: Wrap Up

As we have had many posts on missions, let's remember again where we started, looking at what God is going in the world:
Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! - Psalm 46:10
The truth is that God has a magnificent plan: He is being exalted by people from every place throughout the whole world coming to know Him. He is working that people everywhere would be reconciled, set free from sin and death and transformed to new life. Our great privilege is that God invites us to be a part of His amazing worldwide work!

We have looked at 6 ways to be involved in what God is doing around the world: Learn, Pray, Go, Send, Welcome, and Mobilize.  Again, there are great resources online for these ways of being involved: 6ways2reach.org

Looking back at all the ideas and lists can seem a little overwhelming! It is a lot of information and possibilities. My point here is not to say you have to do all these things, but lets think about, how can we be more involved in what God is doing in the world. Neither do I want us to just be more busy as believers, but I want us to have a bigger perspective on God's plans in the world and our place in them. I encourage you to think about a couple of the ideas presented in these blog posts. Talk with your family or friends about them too!

Let us have Jesus' magnificent and complete work on our behalf be our motivation for all we do, and remember God's plan: He will be exalted among the nations, He will be exalted in the Earth. And He gives us the privilege of joining Him in this.
