                                                    and







                                        the Kingdom












                            od, by virtue of creation, is sovereign ruler of the universe. His will
                            is for all people of all nations to know and serve Him. In previous
                    Gchapters, we stated that the purpose of the kingdom of God is to
                    fulfill the mission of God, that is, to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom
                    to all nations before Jesus comes again.


                       In this chapter, we will review some of the things we have explored in
                    previous chapters. We will do this in order to highlight how the kingdom
                    of God relates to God’s mission to redeem the nations. In doing this, we
                    will discuss in a bit more detail the relationship between the kingdom of
                    God and global missions. We will address three issues:


                       •  The global mission of the Kingdom.
                       •  The gospel of the Kingdom and the Great Commission.
                       •  Proclaiming the gospel to the nations.

                       Let’s review what the Bible says about the mission of God.
