The church of Christ on earth was organized for missionary purposes, and the Lord desires to see the entire church devising ways and means whereby high and low, rich and poor, may hear the message of present truth. 'Present Truth' being where we are in prophetical history. Our 'present truth' mission, as proclaimed by the Three Angel's of Revelation 14:6-12, is to give God's last message of love and warning to a dying world... effectually preparing a people to meet Jesus. This message is to be taken to the world by every member of the body of Christ, thus fulfilling the Lord's command recorded in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen," and fulfilling the prophecy of Matthew 24:14, "And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

The Savior's commission to the disciples includes all believers to the end of time. All to whom the heavenly inspiration has come are put in trust with the gospel. All who receive the life of Christ are ordained to work for the salvation of their fellow men. For this work the church was established, and all who take upon themselves its sacred vows are thereby pledged to be co-workers with Christ.  When the entire church body is working as one, under the direction of Christ and fulfilling His prayer for unity, the end will come and we shall go home victorious in the Lord! May we hasten that day!
