Luke 1:76-80, Missions, Evangelism, and The Doctrines of Grace.

Zechariah praises the Lord for his son, John the Baptist, the forerunner and prophet of the Most High God.
John the Baptist will be a preacher going before the Messiah. What assurance do we have that God will bring His people to Himself through the preaching of the gospel?
God has called the church to be light in the dark world and rest assured that God will call His people to Himself. The doctrines of God's sovereign grace assure us of the success of mission and evangelism. When the gospel is preached, God's people hear God's word and are born again.
