True Gospel Theology Demands an Urgent Missiology

True Gospel Theology Demands an Urgent Missiology

Death is upon us. Each day you hear of tragic accidents, family members, elderly people, freak accidents, and many other ways that people meet death. It is no secret or surprise that each day we have the possibility of meeting death. Each breath, and each moment we have is a gift. At any point we could meet death. Then why do we often have the mentality that we are somehow promised tomorrow? We save up, make plans, have retirement, and take for granted that we are given tomorrow? Not that it is bad to plan ahead, but we should never take tomorrow for granted.

As Christians unless we realize the brevity of our life, and more so the brevity of others lives, then we will never have an urgency for the gospel. Billions around the world who have never heard the name of Christ, millions around our very metroplex who have never heard the true gospel, and their life is fleeting. We must retain a missional lifestyle. Not a lifestyle of bible beating, or telling others that they are going to hell in the first sentence that you meet them, but a missional lifestyle. In the world that we live in today we must earn the right to share the gospel. We get to know someone first, find out their needs, meet their needs, and then share the gospel.


Life is short. Death is upon us. If we really believe what is in the bible, if we really take it serious, then our gospel theology will demand an urgent missiology. “Those who are the most effective in reaching the many are the most passionate about reaching the One”. Lets seek God passionately like there is no tomorrow for us, or for them.

For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23
