Description
Although most local churches are involved in many activities, and (ideally) all of those activities are good and useful ñ our challenge must be to make all that we do as a church relate to the core business of reaching the lost with the "everlasting gospel" (Rev. 14:6) and all that it entails.
Of course, even with the benefits of modern technology, the task is huge. And when all is said and done, the task falls upon millions of volunteers motivated by a love for God and for lost humanity ñ a love for those whose sins Jesus bore on the cross just as much as He bore ours.
While evangelism and witnessing are the personal responsibility of each believer, the whole body of Seventh-day Adventist believers (the church) has a corporate responsibility, as well. As each member contributes to the evangelistic goals and strategies of his or her local church, precious people are won to Christ. And here's a point that can't be overemphasized: if it's not done at the local church level, it just won't get done.
As with any study, this quarter's lessons will help to increase a person's store of biblical knowledge. That's fine, but the goal is not just to gain knowledge, no matter how wonderful the knowledge. The goal is for us to use that knowledge for good, and in this context the greatest good is to give those who face eternal destruction the opportunity for eternal life.
