Biblical Missionaries Our Goal W E will look at mission first and foremost as God’s means for commu- nicating the gospel. Mission is a core part of God’s sovereign activity in the process of redeeming humanity. We will study how God’s eternal purpose has been accomplished in the lives of individuals in the Bible whom He has used to be missionaries to the lost.

Biblical Missionaries Lesson 11, September 19 Biblical Missionaries Lesson 11, September 19 Paul: Mission and Message

Key Text Philippians 3:13, 14 NKJV “B RETHREN, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Paul: Mission and Message Quick Look 1. Paul and People Groups (1 Corinthians 1:22-24) 2. Paul and the Law (Romans 3:31) 3. Paul and the Cross and Resurrection (1 Corinthians 2:2; 15:14, 18)

Paul: Mission and Message Initial Words P AUL ’ S 13 letters to the believers applied faith to their lives. He touched doctrinal, as well as practical, topics. He counseled, encouraged, and admonished on matters of personal Christianity, relationships, and church life. Nevertheless, throughout his letters his main theme was “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2, NKJV).

Paul: Mission and Message 1. Paul and People Groups 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 NKJV “F OR Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God”

1. Paul and People Group Greeks and Jews P AUL did not dismiss the cultural and spiritual heritage of his target peoples but used it as an entry point for proclaiming Christ crucified. Those who desired signs found them in the life and ministry of Jesus. Those who wanted logical elegance and rationality found it in Paul’s arguments for the gospel message.

1. Paul and People Group Greeks and Jews To Jews: history of Israel, linking Christ to David, and emphasizing the Old Testament prophecies pointing to Christ and foretelling His crucifixion and resurrection (Acts 13:16–41). For Gentiles: God as Creator, Upholder, and Judge; the entry of sin into the world; salvation through Jesus Christ (Acts 14:15–17, 17:22–31).

1. Paul and People Group Greeks and Jews How Paul brought them to that knowledge depended upon the people to whom he was witnessing.

1. Paul and People Group Soldiers and Athletes “Those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize.... Run...that you obtain it” 1 Cor 9:24. “Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” 2 Tim 2:3. Paul applied both soldiering and athletics to his life as a Christian missionary: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim. 4:7, NIV).

Paul: Mission and Message 2. Paul and the Law Romans 3:31 NKJV “D O we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.”

2. Paul and the Law Moral and Ceremonial P AUL endeavored to get his hearers and readers to understand that “law” carried several meanings. Laws such as the Ten Commandments are in force for all people at all times. But Paul did not consider other kinds of laws in the Old Testament and in Jewish culture to be in force for Christians.

2. Paul and the Law Moral and Ceremonial Paul used the word law to rules for religious ceremonies, civil law, health laws, and purification laws. He wrote about being “under the law” (Rom 3:19) and “released from the law” (Rom 7:6, NIV); “law of sin” (vs 25), also “law [that] is holy” (vs 12); the “law of Moses” (1 Cor 9:9), also the “law of God” (Rom 7:25).

2. Paul and the Law Moral and Ceremonial Paul realized that the ceremonial laws, detailing how one approached God through priesthood, Hebrew sanctuary, and sacrifices, ceased to be valid after the Crucifixion. They had served their purpose in their time but were now no longer needed.

2. Paul and the Law Moral and Ceremonial With the moral law expressed by the Ten Commandments, however, matters are different. Having written against the practice of sin, Paul would not in any way have diminished the very law that defines what sin is.

Paul: Mission and Message 3. Paul and the Cross and Resurrection 1 Corinthians 2:2; 15:14, 18 NKJV “F OR I determine not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.... And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.... Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.”

3. Paul and the Cross and Resurrection Crucial to the Gospel P AUL didn’t teach the Cross in a vacuum; instead, he taught it in the context of other teachings, as well; and one of them, perhaps the one most intricately linked to the Cross, was the Resurrection, without which the Cross would have been in vain.

3. Paul and the Cross and Resurrection Crucial to the Gospel Paul emphasized repeatedly that: 1. Only God has immortality (1 Tim. 6:16). 2. Immortality is a gift from God to the saved (1 Thess. 4:16). 3. Death is a sleep until Christ returns (1 Thess. 4:13–15; 1 Cor. 15:6, 18, 20).

3. Paul and the Cross and Resurrection Crucial to the Gospel False teachings based on the false concept of the immortality of the soul: reincarnation, praying to saints, veneration of ancestral spirits, an eternally burning hell, and New Age practices such as astral projection. A true understanding of the Bible’s teaching on death is the only real protection against these deceptions.

Paul: Mission and Message Final Words “P AUL believed in teamwork. For him the close team constituted a church in miniature. He stressed the importance of setting a good example. Dutiful yet loving relationships among team members became a pattern for the churches. The team also provided an ideal setting for the training of new evangelists and missionaries.
