“I was made a minister of this church according to the commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God” (Colossians 1:25).
From Jesus (Mt. 28:19-20) to Paul, the commission from God to the church gives priority to the proclamation of God’s word (1 Cor. 15:1-3; 1 Tim. 4:13, 2 Tim. 4:2-4). What the church must recover is an understanding of the unequivocal kinship between God himself and the word he has inspired as the means through which he speaks. By this the in-breaking of the kingdom of God among men, and the pronouncement of Good News for all humanity is made known.
