The Purpose


"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." (Acts 20:24)


In this Scripture, Paul gave utmost importance to the task that Jesus gave to him and to the other disciples that he even considered his life worthless if he will not be able to complete it. Remember what Jesus told the eleven disciples before ascending to heaven, The Great Commission, Matthew 28:19-20, "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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
