Mission in Torah – Part 1

Strike the Match with J. D. Payne

In this two-part episode, I continue the series on theology of mission with the discussion of God’s mission in Torah. Throughout these five books, God’s glory among the nations comes through three particular means: 1) A Person: Abraham; 2) A People: Israel; and 3) A Place: Tabernacle.

Abraham, and Israel, quickly learn God’s election is both a privilege and responsibility. They are chosen to be God’s people for a purpose.

This particularism would be the means by which God brings blessings to the nations. Rather than Israel’s election excluding the nations from the Creator, it would be the means of grace whereby the Gentiles would come to know him.
