Jesus’ Command
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
-Matthew 28:17-20-
-Matthew 28:17-20-
What Is Discipleship?A Christian disciple is a person who accepts and assists in the spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ. Christian discipleship is the process by which disciples grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and are equipped by the Holy Spirit, who resides in our hearts, to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life and become more and more Christlike.
GoJesus is telling all those who recognise His lordship that wherever and however you go, make disciples
BaptiseBaptism is to be done in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit—this is what makes it Christian baptism. It is through this ordinance that a person is admitted into the fellowship of the church. When we are saved, we are baptised by the Spirit into the Body of Christ
Teach
Jesus wants us to teach disciples all that He commanded. By teaching what Jesus taught, the church becomes an extension of His ministry. Though this education must not be just a digestion of theology, but equipping people to obey word of God.
