Christ's commission to "Go to the whole world ..." is not just about saving as many souls as we can for heaven. It is also intended to change and to challenge everything in our fallen world - to make everything new in Christ. It is to redeem the world with, through and in Christ.
Yes. It requires that we repent of our own sinfulness and to totally surrender our life to Him. But then, as a result of it, we are commanded to go the world to bear fruit by lifting up the poor and the marginalized, challenging injustice wherever we find it, rejecting worldly values within every culture and loving our brothers and sisters as ourselves.
The charge of every follower of Christ is to proclaim and to embody the Gospel, so that others may see, hear and feel God's love in tangible ways - living the faith with integrity and compassion to give others the glimpse of God's love and character.
The "Good News" Christ proclaimed embraces a revolutionary view of the world - a world transformed by transformed people, who are His disciples of all the nations.
