After his death and resurrection, Jesus commanded his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. The Great Commission is the fulfillment of his life-multiplication purposes through the descendants of Abraham. As the gospel spread, the church was built and disciples multiplied. One of the first fruits of the multiplication movement was the apostle Paul. God used Paul as a catalyst to ignite the missionary movement and to cement the New Testament theology that would establish much of what we now believe. His life is not the exception but the norm of what healthy disciple-maker multiplying churches should have as a developmental paradigm for their ministries. In this first message of three, we will reinforce how, in the disciple-maker multiplication paradigm, it is absolutely essential for an unbeliever to be born again for anything else to take place in the spiritual life.
