Another of the same kind

Written by Douglas Agyapong.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (NLT) Matt. 28:19

At the beginning of the Bible, God said: “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.” Due to our fall for the Devil’s deception, this image of ours had been distorted but God has fixed the situation through the death of His son. This image is redeemed when we are born again.

Now, God wants us to help create others who would take on this same image. This is first achieved through evangelism; as we sow the seed of the gospel, new Christians are born and because they are born of the Spirit and the Word, they take on this image of God. And it does not end there. Furthermore, each Christian has a role to perform in the church and will have to mentor at least one person to take up the role he performs. An evangelist should produce another evangelist before death. A deacon will have to produce another with characteristics worthy to become a deacon. As a Christian, you will have to help create another of your kind. That kind is still God's kind. This process must go on until we multiply and fill the earth with God’s kind. This is a must because without reproduction, a race dies.
