Ordo SalutisSalvation on the Line

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God

was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ,

God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we

might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Our salvation includes the privilege of calling others to salvation.

Worship doesn’t exist because men are sinners.

“Missions exists because worship doesn’t.”John Piper

Missionaries proclaim the gospel of salvation;the gospel believed transforms sinners into singers

and motivates more gospel proclamation.

“To affirm of any human production that it contained many great and instructive truths which it would be impossible to systematize without weakening each separate truth,

and frustrating the design of the whole, would be a serious reflection upon the author's wisdom and skill! How much more to affirm this of the Word of God! Systematic

theology is to the Bible what science is to nature. To suppose that all the other works of God are orderly and

systematic, and the greater the work the more perfect the system; and that the greatest of all His works, in which all His perfections are transcendently displayed, should have

no plan or system, is altogether absurd.”

Charles Spurgeon
