Mission

Monotheism remains the essential basis for mission. The supreme reason why God 'desires *all men* to be saved and come to the knowledge of the [same] truth' is that 'there is *one God*, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ, who gave himself as a ransom for all ...' (1 Tim. 2:4-6). The logic of this passage rests on the relation between 'all men' and 'one God'. Our warrant for seeking the allegiance of 'all men' is that there is only 'one God', and only 'one mediator' between
him and them. Without the unity of God and the uniqueness of Christ there could be no Christian mission.
