It was as the apostles went about preaching that the Lord confirmed His Word through supernatural signs. (See Mark 16:20.) If we do not go out and preach God’s Word, then He has nothing to confirm. We must assume our responsibility as a church!

And as you go, preach, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

(Matthew 10:7)

Sin is increasing in the world because believers have no idea of their true calling from God. They are involved in doing good works and enjoying fellowship with one another, but these are not the primary mandate of the church. As long as we fail to understand who we are and what our responsibility is, we will not be able to carry out our mission. The church is not a social club or a funeral home; it is not a charitable organization, a political group, or a foundation for social outreach; it is not an extension of a government or business. It was brought into being for the purpose of exercising dominion and bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. God loves the world—you and me, as well as everyone else on earth, from our neighbors to the people who live in other countries—everyone! (See John 3:16.) The church is not merely to inhabit the world but to win it. We are to love what God loves—people—and hate what He hates—sin. We have been given authority and power to make Satan yield to God’s ever-increasing kingdom in this world.

Supernatural signs and evidence are guaranteed to those who “go.”

Many Christians say, “Be wary of the people in the world; don’t associate with them.” With this mentality, we would need to separate ourselves from everyone whom we are called to bring into the kingdom! (See 1 Corinthians 5:9–10.) It is impossible to carry out our mission if we don’t go where people can be found. Of course, as we go, we are not to enter into friendship with the world system. (See James 4:4.) We are not to adopt its mind-set and ways; rather, we are to be the light that will guide people to Jesus.

We are not called to become like the people of the world but to guide them to Jesus, so they can become like Him.
