Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.

Surely the gospel evokes unconditional surrender of all that we are and all that we have to all that He is.

We owe Christ to the world--to the least person and to the greatest person, to the richest person and to the poorest person, to the best person and to the worst person. We are in debt to the nations.

When God tells us to give extravagantly, we can trust Him to do the same in our lives. And this is really the core issue of it all. Do we trust Him? Do we trust Jesus when He tells us to give radically for the sake of the poor? Do we trust Him to provide for us when we begin using the resources He has given us to provide for others? Do we trust Him to know what is best for our lives, our families, and our financial futures?

Jesus came to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserve to die.

The primary reward of the gospel - God himself

We assume that our race simply deserves heaven; that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.
