3 GOD S MISSION Isaiah 45:21-24 There is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior, there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; and every tongue will swear. They will say of me, In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.

4 GOD S MISSION Philippians 2:10-11 At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
