Commissed To Spread The Gospel

Matthew 28:19-20

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

This is a powerful commission given by Christ Himself to all believers--the church as whole and individual believers as well.

If the church fails in its mission of preaching, and teaching the gospel of Christ who else will? Christ established His church for this purpose and He set an example by sending His disciples into the world to continue His gospel message. The question now becomes, How can the unsaved become saved unless he hears the Word of God from the church-believers? When the unsaved come to Christ, we are to baptize them with water through immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and there is only one Lord, one baptism and one salvation. Obeying the Great Commission, believers are to make disciples of new converts so they too can make other disciples. New converts are to be taught holy living with the aid of the Holy Spirit as we are to be prime examples of holy living.

Christ promised to be with His followers always in spreading His gospel and He has remained true to His Word. His presence is felt through the Holy Spirit and regardless of any condition or situation He is there to solve problems, answer fears, anxieties and doubts.
Spread the gospel for He is with you.
