THE GREAT COMMISSION
GOD
THE CHRISTIAN (Go and Make Disciples)
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations; Mt. 28:19a
THE WORLD (Them) (Glorify)
Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Mt. 28:19b - 20

THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
GOD
THE CHRISTIAN (Love God with your ALL)
And He said to him, “'You shall love the Lord our God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment.
THE WORLD (Glorify)
The second is like it, “‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
(Love your Neighbor)

THE GREAT CAUSE
GOD
THE CHRISTIAN (SAved by Grace)
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Eph 2:8-9
THE WORLD (Glorify)
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we could walk in them. Eph 2:10
***********************************************************************************
1 Peter 4:11
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
We will look at this more in-depth next week to comprehend our role in God’s Great Cause.
