Saved From Something, Saved To Something

"The death of Christ saved me from something. The resurrection saved me to something ... He saves me for a purpose and for a reason ... We're saved to the Great Commission and the mission ... ultimately saved to the ushering in of the kingdom.

... If [it] is simply about individual conversion, then all you get is this self-centered, self-seeking faith that says, 'Fix me, make much of me, make me right.' But the Good News of the resurrection is that we've been called to greater purposes, greater glories, the Mission ... ."
