The will of God concerning salvation through the ages.How believers can fulfill God’s plan and purpose on earth.The concept of salvation as a call to ministry.The importance of consecration in ministry.The role of the local church in discipleship and training for ministry.He emphasizes that upon salvation, individuals are taught the scriptures and trained to serve, highlighting that every believer is called to ministry.
