Why reaching unreached ethnic groups Why should we finish the task?

Not because it is our duty, although it is.

Not because it will bring eternal life to many, although it will.

Not because it will improve the conditions of the poor, although it will.

Not because it will improve stability in the institutions of the world, although it will.

Not because it will improve environmental care, although it will.

Not because it will be rewarded, although it will.

We must reach the unreached ethnic groups because Jesus is worthy to receive honor, glory, and praise.

“After this, I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, which were before the throne and in the presence of the Lamb.” Revelation 7: 9

Thinking about why reaching unreached ethnic groups is also defining what our motivations are to achieve this goal:

1- Glorifying God by doing his will, which is that each ethnic group is reached by the gospel. The glory of God and his kingdom filling the earth. “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14.

2- Join God’s work which is focused on the lost. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 The gospel for each person.

3- Obey the mandate of the Great Commission. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations … (ethne)” Matthew 28:19 – One church (disciples meeting) for each ethnic group.

4- Complete the task that Jesus entrusted to his church in Acts 1.8

We can say that the central motivation to carry out this final task, as it is in the whole Bible, is our search to perceive God and to do his will.

As an example, we can see the principles that arise from Exodus 3.1-22

1- God calls. It is not the man who decides to serve, it is God who calls, guides, trains, and sends. The man only has to answer in obedience (v 24)

2- God reveals his presence and character. (v 5-6)

3- God communicates his will to liberate using man as his tool. (v 7-12)

4- God awaits our response. (v13-22)

Unreached ethnic groups are today the last people that God wants to free and needs Christians and churches who can receive HIS call and respond in obedience so that the task is completed.

If our motivation is correct we must take action.

The way HE did with Moses, HE goes ahead of us.
