The Fourfold Gospel of regeneration, sanctification, divine healing, and the Second Coming was introduced to Korea in the early 20th century and played a crucial role in developing the Korea Holiness Churches. It seems, however, that the previous understanding of the Fourfold Gospel has some limitations in helping Christians to participate in missio Dei. Because missiological hermeneutics of the Fourfold Gospel has focused mainly on the theology of redemption, it has frequently led to a narrow understanding of missio Dei. Through the reading of the two creation stories in Genesis, we can recognize that God’s creative works already have redemptive meanings and that His redemptive works already have creative/creational meanings. In this sense, it is also possible to see the Fourfold Gospel from a creation theological perspective. This understanding may positively motivate Christians to participate in missio Dei to restore and complete God’s creation as his vicegerents and stewards.

There may be no better way to get to the heart of Jesus' mission than to study Jesus' inaugural address in his hometown Nazareth synagogue. There Jesus proclaimed that he was the anointed one of God and introduced a jubilee era that is programmatic in Luke's Gospel for his holistic mission of grace. But for some listeners with high messianic expectations, it was only half the mission of the Messiah; they also awaited the omitted day of vengeance. Jesus' good news to the poor did not meet exclusive expectations, but was inclusive of Gentiles and outcasts. Jesus' jubilee mission was holistic in four aspects: It was proclaimed and enacted, spiritual and physical, for Jew and Gentile, present and eschatological.
