To grasp this is liberating, releasing us from a preoccupation with terms and definitions. Words and concepts only find expression and definition through the context they are expressed within. Through the reality of persons in community.
When we are authentically embraced and filled by the Holy Spirit, it is the powerful presence of God that brings about transformation in us. When we are confronted with God's Being, it is the imperative that moves us towards conformity to His Being. This drawing close to God realises in us the the Ontic drivers that affect and shape us into being effective heralds of His Purpose, instruments of His power, harbingers of the presence of His Kingdom.
And it is through our being shaped, through the Holy Spirit and with a humbling towards Christlike service, that we realise that true instruction is always embodied instruction.
This, always leading to constructive community. For it is the establishing of authentic, thick communities that mission is all about.
