Rev M. Mitchell
I thought that Christians believed that the fate of the Elected has already been predestined. Why then the need for missions?
You are correct. However, our main job on earth
is to give God Glory through our works.
We are the voice of God on Earth, We are the Church
that world hears through our proclaiming the Gospel
Thanks for your comment
The reason God elected us to be part of the body of Christ is to Give
Him Glory. He equipped us with gifts to serve Him by building up
the body of Christ with our works. What we do for Christ stores up
treasures in Heaven for us. Our testimony through our works gives
Him Glory.
