Paul Mission

APOSTLE PAUL: THE ARCHITECT AND BUILDER OF THE CHURCH

The gospel was initially embedded in the Hebrew culture.
Since the gospel was for the whole creation – man and beast and whole created world - the
great commission was to re-encode the incarnation message into other cultures.
Mar 16:15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole
creation.
God was on the look out for an expert in two cultures to effect this transition. Shaul was the
right choice for this purpose because, he was at home in both the Hebrew and the Greco-
Roman (Greek and Roman) cultures. Remember that was the predominant culture of that
time.
The mission was to transcribe this into other cultures. What Paul did was just that.
