Go - A verb requiring action. In the Greek - poreuo meaning to traverse, travel, to depart, to go.

This two letter word in English, requires action on the part of the Believer.

This eliminates any forms of complacency, inactivity, apathy and avoidance. It also eliminates all excuses.

Why do we go??

Therefore - Points to Christ’s Authority in verse 18.

Because He has all authority - We Go.

Because He has overcome - We Go.

To please Him - We Go.

Because of love and concern for the lost - We Go.

To Freely share what we Freely received - We Go.

To fill the marriage supper, to fill Heaven - We Go.
