Each of these contributes to the missiology of Paul, and from them, we can learn much about God’s missio Dei, his desire to reach all nations with the good news of Jesus Christ, and the offer of salvation he extends to each of us. In this article, we’ll explore the nature of Paul’s gospel-centered preaching, and how this formed Paul’s theology of mission. Paul was called to preach the gospel during his encounter with Christ on the Road to Damascus. In order to understand Paul’s missiology fully, we must examine the components of his message to all peoples, Jew and Gentile alike: It is a remarkable message, It is rooted in God’s promise to Abraham, It is realized in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, It offers reconciliation between humanity and God, and It is a rejection of idolatry and things that are not of God.
