Saved for a Purpose

Jesus came to earth to save his Father's creation: the world that he cared about and the people he loved so much that he was willing to die a horrible death that he didn't deserve. We can rejoice. We were lost and are now found, we were orphaned and have been given a family, we had a debt that we could never pay and Jesus paid it.

But this is not the end of our story; it is the very beginning. We have a job to do. Jesus called us to be a light to the world and a lifeline to the lost; we were saved for a purpose. In the world right now, there is estimated to be 6,500 unreached people groups, amounting to around two billon people who still need saving. They are living their lives either hopeless without redemption or having no idea of the terrible price that hangs over their heads.

Two billion people with problems and fear and no hope, and God loves them all. He knows their names, their faces, every hair or their heads, and he wants to welcome them into his loving arms. And so he is sending you to bring the good news of hope and redemption to the world; unto the nations we go with faith in God and love in our hearts.

"Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles." ~ Acts 22:21
