Social Justice VS. Salvation- Part One

Posted : 29 Jun, 2008 10:54 AM

Social Justice meaning- Lost people see Jesus by what we as Christians do, though we don't try to witness the Word of God to the Lost.





Salvation meaning- We witness but do not to the works.



Social Justice: -Only phyical that we as Christians are concerned about, we don't want to push Christ on anyone -We may help them and they may accept Christ, but if we dont teach them, there is no true change. Salvation: -The only thing that is important to a Christin is Lost people. -Most Christians have what is called an agenda. Agenda meaning, we just want to convert as many souls as possible.





In 1925 there was a split in the church. They never classified what exactly it was, but I am about to show you.



-We as Christians are not portraying God the way that He wants to be portrayed.



WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE MANDATE?

-Matthew 22:37-40

"Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:

'Love your neighbor as yourself."



So the number one mandate is, LOVE.



Social Justice: THE GREAT COMMANDMENT



"We plant, we water, but God makes the growth."



Matthew 28:18-20

"Then Jesus came and said,"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising 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."



Salvation: THE GREAT COMMISSION



"When we skip over the Great Commandment (Social Justice) on the way to Great Commission (Salvation) can do great harm in the authority of our faith." - Robert Lupton



Because of faith we love people unconditionally. If we skip over Social Justice to get to Salvation, we have an "agenda".
