Another importance of God’s Missio Dei is that He wants His creation back in order because when sin came it brought chaos between God and man. Johannes Verkuyl says, “the kingdom of God is that new order of affairs begun in Christ which, when finally completed by him, will involve a proper restoration not only of man’s relationship to God” (1). Peter the Apostle records in 2 Peter 3:13 “But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” Furthermore, restoring all His creation is in God’s plan; with a new heaven and new earth.

Adam and Eve proved that when they tried to cover up their shame with fig leaves; Romans 3:23-24 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” It is so important that a perfect person could die for the guilty, as did the animal did in …show more content…

The result of the Holy Spirit filling Peter resulted in 3,000 people becoming Christians; “Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day” Acts 2:41. What are some key factors of the Holy Spirit? First, the Holy Spirit empowers God’s Church for the Great Commission. Acts 1:5,8 says, “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Secondly, the Holy Spirit give authority to God’s Church in: serving, (Acts 6:1-7),
