John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

27th lesson = God's Purpose in loving the Human Being

To fulfill the Commandment of Jesus.


Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

      In order to fulfill the purpose to be lived in the Holy Spirit, we must carry out with the commandment Jesus gave us. "Go and make disciples". God has equipped us with everything on this earth so we can finish the Mission together with Him, which He had outlined. Jesus died so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but be saved. Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God. The Apostle Paul begins to reason in his letter on this issue, and he says: “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Rom. 10:14. Paul seeks to teach to the new believers in the Church in Rome, the Gospel of Christ, and in this letter he describes this thought in Chapter 10.

      In verses 13-18 we read that Paul asked a series of questions and here we will analyze the context. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And by teaching it to them, he seeks to analyze the entire aspect of it all. But Paul also understood that not everyone had the knowledge that Jesus came to die for us, this was the reason why Jesus trained his disciples that they would proclaim it to every creature.

 An announcement is made in order to bring it to the attention of the people you want it to become known. Jesus wanted everyone to come to this knowledge that He came to save human being which was lost; that is, every human being as he is born is fallen from the grace of God, as result of the fact that Adam and Eve had eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
 And this is why he starts to reason this way in these verses: How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? Not every
person has the knowledge who Jesus is. Not, everyone receives the information about the fact that there is a loving God who cares for His people. And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? If a person never was told about Jesus, how will he believe in something he does not know? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Paul knows that many people have never heard of Jesus, and therefore have no way of believing. A person will only take up a task of this size if he was commanded to do so.
 Vs. 16 = But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. God knows that the person will believe if they hear about it.
 Vs. 18: But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

The purpose to be lived in being full of the Holy Spirit is to be able to fulfill with the: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations”. Jesus sent all his children, the disciples and all believe in Him to proclaim the good news of our God. God sent the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to empower each one of us to obey the commission by Jesus, the Savior of the world. And Jesus gives us the gifts of the Holy Spirit, these gifts are supernatural abilities that we received to do the work entrusted to us. We were sent by Jesus, and we can preach the Word for empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Collins Dictionary says that: A commission is a group of people who have been appointed to find out about something or to control something.
God has given us everything we need so we can go and do exactly what He has commanded us to do. To the Corinthians Paul also clarifies this by saying: "All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines" 1 Cor. 12:11. It is one and the same Spirit, who performs all things, distributing these gifts to every child of God as He pleases, and to each person individually. When he says that He does as he pleases giving each one individually, it certainly indicates that not all receive the same gift.

It is not our intention here to discuss the fact that some believe that everyone gets a certain gift. The Scripture tells us that He, the Spirit does as He pleases. If at the time of Pentecost He pleased to give everyone, He is entitled to do so. If, today he works in different ways, which is his right. It belongs to Him the authority to act as he pleases. But we can be sure that He equips each of us with the gift that we need to do the work that He has entrusted us with. We do not need to convince anyone to believe in God; the Holy Spirits convinces the human of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment to come. You and I have the task of proclaiming the good news, the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. Observe well, Jesus did not do the work of the Holy Spirit, the two worked in harmony. Jesus never did anything without first talking to your Father in Heaven. And to do the work that Jesus did as He had gifts and performed miracles; He said that just as the Father sent him, He sends us.

And He sends the Holy Spirit to enable us to do so. In the whole world wherever there is a soul that has the Holy Spirit in him, the Church of Christ is present there. God wants all to be saved, and He desires that his children go unto the whole world to proclaim the good news of salvation. If the children of God proclaim salvation in Christ they will hear, and they will believe. And the voice of the saved will go out through all the earth, which is God's promise; until the end of the world as Paul says.
