What are the three functions of every believer?
The moment we are saved we are given three assignments that define the rest of our lives: priesthood — our relationship to God, drawing near to Him through the Word and prayer; ambassadorship — our relationship to unbelievers, urging them to be reconciled to God; and ministry — our relationship to other believers, serving the Body of Christ through our spiritual gift.
