Pay It Forward: Grace Multiplied Through Mission - Missional (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Source: ChurchWiseAI94 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

In Pay It Forward, Trevor creates a movement: receive a gift, pass it on to three others. Grace multiplies exponentially. Missional theology sees Ephesians 2:8-10 as a unity: saved by grace (v.8-9) for good works prepared beforehand (v.10). Grace is not the end but the beginning. We receive freely and freely give. The mission of the church is to be conduits of grace—receiving God's gift and channeling it outward. We don't earn grace by mission, but grace propels us into mission. The gift demands nothing yet transforms everything, including our posture toward the world.
