The Missional Life

Explain what is meant by the word “missional”, and describe
what a missional life might look like.

If I
understand Chris’ explanation, “missional” encompasses the core meaning or
focus of a believer’s life in fulfilling Jesus’ commission, not fulfilling our
desires to get Saved and ride it on Home.

A
missional life will rest upon an understanding of the core reason of a man’s
existence, being realized through his Saved life.  A useful believer (useful to Jesus, the only
Judge Who matters) is soaked through with his continual exposure to God, the
stirring of the Spirit, to quicken him into seeing, understanding, embracing,
and doing the work for which we were Saved, per Eph 2.10 “For we are His
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.”

A man
engaged in a missional life understands Who Jesus is; who he is as His slave;
Jesus’ intentions; recognizes the opportunities around him; grows in the Tools
he is given in the Word and the Spirit; and then operates in the authority
pushed upon him that he will have a life worth examination by his Lord on the
Last Day.
