Gods Call for Ambassadors of His Kingdom

• From Pauls testimony (Acts 2616-18)
• Wake up! I have spoken to you for this purpose
  to appoint you as an ambassador of the things
  which you have already seen, and the things which
  I will yet show you. While delivering you from
  the world, I am sending you to open their eyes so
  that they may turn from darkness to light, and
  from the dominion of Satan to God, in order that
  they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an
  inheritance among all the others who have been
  made pure by faith in Me.
