According to Stott, Luke's commission makes clear that the primary task of the Church is to be gospel heralds, not social reformers nor faith healers. There are five aspects: 1. forgiveness of sin crucified Savior, the gift of grace alone . 2. upon the name of Christ. 3. on condition of repentance risen Lord, the obedience of faith alone . 4. to all the nations. 5. in the power of the Holy Spirit ever fresh, convicting, converting .
