The Redeemed Christian Church of God

Evangelism is our Commander in Chief's Marching Orders, Our Primary Spiritual-Military Objective

What is our primary objective from our Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ? Matthew 28:18-20. "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...'"

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised

 . . . Luke: C – 4, V - 18

1. To communicate the Gospel in love and power of God to the entire world.
   2. To introduce Jesus to those who respond to the Gospel -to disciple them or to introduce those who respond, to Jesus

We are all soldiers of Jesus Christ, and as Paul brings out often enough in his epistles, we are in a serious spiritual battle, a war. It helps if you are in a war, to know what your objective is. Vietnam was a total loss because the offensive objective wasn't there, it was a defensive holding action without the conquering that is equated with mounting an offensive and winning a war. They were holding onto land and waiting for the enemy to move on them before reacting in many instances, not going to the enemy in the north and conquering the enemy at the source. Most Christians go about their lives never fully realizing what Jesus' spiritual primary objective is, or how they're supposed to be involved in accomplishing that objective
