Kernel of Christianity: Apostle Paul’s Vision, Commission, and their Intrinsic Connection to God’s Economy

Bing H. Tang
Abstract
God’s eternal plan is to dispense Himself into His people as life, as life supply, and as everything to them. What God had planned and accomplished and what He was applying in His salvation, Paul was carrying out in his ministry. Paul’s ministry concerns the unsearchable riches of Christ, the economy of God, and the church. Viewed from God’s perspective, these three are the gospel, His plan, and His goal. Paul’s ministry is intrinsically related with God’s eternal purpose. Apostle Paul was chosen by God to bear the responsibility for God’s economy, and he also trained his spiritual son Timothy in this economy. As believers in Christ enjoying the grace of God in the God’s economy, we have been entrusted with the stewardship to minister Christ to others for their growth in life. Paul is always seen carrying out his commission within a company of related members. In fact, the book of Acts describes a body of witnesses bearing a corporate testimony. By exploring Apostle Paul life’s journey, we will be able to understand his vision and commission, and participate in this commission in a meaningful way.
