The Win: Knowing and Pursuing Our Destination

This book will define this win statement as a discipleship strategy for fulfilling the Great Commandment and Commission. The commandments to “love” and “go” are not suggestions posed to the church of Jesus Christ.  The imperative to love empowers the church to go into the world with the Gospel of grace. On our way to the world, we must go by the church. We are not to stay at the church, but we are to prepare there for the sake of the world. We are not of the world, but we are called to live and minister in the world to the glory of God and the salvation of the lost.

Lend me your mind and heart as we pursue the win that has been won in Jesus our Lord and Savior. Prayerfully read The Win: Knowing and Pursuing Our Destination, beginning with regeneration and culminating in our glorification through Jesus Christ predicated on His finished work.
