Ultimately, God desires that all mankind be saved and live eternally in His family and Kingdom. And this is what motivates the members of the United Church of God in our collective responsibility.
Jesus said not to worry and fret over our physical needs but to "seek
first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). This, then, is the first
priority of every Christian-to pursue God's Kingdom through living
as He commands. This pursuit leads to a life of great meaning and purpose,
filled with personal enrichment, one with absolute faith in a future
that is wonderful beyond anything we can imagine.
Ultimately, God desires that all mankind be saved and live eternally in
His family and Kingdom (1 Timothy 2:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9). This is what motivates
us as members of the United Church of God in our collective responsibility.
We see our mission as servants of God called to proclaim this message,
serving God in the fulfillment of His amazing purpose for humanity. There
can be no greater mission in life than to have a part in fulfilling this
eternal objective.
Our greatest challenge for this age, then, is to live as God commands,
to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God in all the world, to make
disciples in all nations and to care for the disciples God adds to His
Church today (Matthew 28:19).
