"Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen." (Matt. 28:16-20)
He said to them, 'Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.'" (Mark 16:15)
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things! But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, 'Lord, who has believed our report?' So, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom. 10:14-17)
"But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." (2 Cor. 5:18-20)
"This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matt. 24:14)
All around us, people are perishing. God made us ambassadors to bring His
saving message to them. Jesus commanded us to take that message to the
whole world: our friends, family, people in our town, our country, and
countries that have never heard it. The world! All of creation! If they
believe, we ensure they're baptized and obey God's teaching. When the
Gospel reaches all people, Jesus Christ will then return to end it all.
May it happen quickly!
Please share the wonderful gifts God gave you with others that need them. Remember that we plant, water, and harvest. God causes the growth. We're to share the Gospel with and show love for other people. How they respond is on them, not us. God was gracious enough to make our part simple. Pray every day He gives you the love for the lost necessary to do it. Pray He opens their hearts, gives you boldness to share, and pull them to Him. Step out on faith every opportunity you get. Ultimately, we're doing this for Christ who loved and died for us.
