Abstract
-
The kind gospel transformation can only take place when gender roles are upheld. Moreover, the Great Commission can only have its true effect when humanity obey all what scripture say about men and women’s roles. In his wisdom, God designed his Spirit-indwelt children to find gender-specific niches in His
family and in doing this the Great Commission is advanced. To neglect this is to reject the whole counsel of what is said in scripture and the need to rightly reflect in our marriages and homes the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is absolutely essential. Focusing on the need for marital conformity to the Great Commission is an instruction from the Lord as it challenges christian husbands and wives to consider their marital orientation and to ask how the two are contributing to fulfilling the Great Commission. When the two marry, the great commission must be the central aim of their marriage. The great commission must become the one thing that sets the agenda for everything else. Jesus promised to all those who believe in him, that by His Spirit we would be bold witnesses (Acts 1:8). Practically speaking, you can consider your “Jerusalem” to be your family and local church. This reality is true personally and in marriage. Serving as a couple has benefits that go beyond bonding, contentment and peace. There’s a special nice intimacy that comes with working together especially in helping those in need. Couples who embrace God’s call to serve others experience an added closeness, and there are special moments and memories that naturally come when you do things together. In addition, participating together in ministry opportunities can also help you to grow in your faith as a couple. Working side-by-side to fulfill the Great Commission deepens your spiritual intimacy. Above all, being the Lord’s witnesses by serving, giving, encouraging, caring and loving is rewarding beyond words. But in the end, it’s not really about you as a couple but those who need a touch from God. Whenever you serve others, you become the hands and feet of your Savior. The Spirit of Christ will grant grace and wisdom to fulfill the task of winning the nations, through husbands who lead their families to love the kingdom of Christ and wives who come alongside their men to help accomplish the task.
