The Great Commission

 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 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 alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to me. Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”  When we love the Lord Jesus, we choose to follow Him wholeheartedly and obey Him.  Now we are part of His Body, His heart is ours, His passion is ours, His obedience to the Father becomes our obedience to Him.  We are here to disciple and teach all nations and if they make a free-will choice to follow Christ, then to baptise them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  There is no conversion, forced or bribe-induced.  Our God is love Who never forces anyone, and our motivation to obey Him is God’s love for others.  Amen!
