Galatians 5:6
19 Одете меѓу сите народи и создадете од нив Мои ученици; крштавајте ги во името на Таткото, Синот и Светиот Дух;
20 Учете ги новите следбеници да го извршуваат сето она што вам ви го заповедав.

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” — Matthew 28:18-20 | Revised Standard Version (RSV) Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyright © 1946, 1952, and 1971 the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Brothers and sisters, all of you should try to follow my example [become imitators of me] and to copy [watch closely; pay attention to] those who live [walk] the way we showed [modeled it for] you. — Philippians 3:17 | Expanded Bible (EXB) The Expanded Bible, Copyright © 2011 Thomas Nelson Inc.

The risen Christ appeared to His disciples in Galilee and spoke to them the powerful words of the Great Commission. He challenged them to make disciples of all nations. But He also assured them they were not alone in their journey. His very presence—the Holy Spirit—would go with them. He is also with you and me...
The mission of the church is the Great Commission. All four gospels point to the mission to make disciples, to go, to baptize. That is what makes Christians Christians.

You have been called to speak into the confusion with gospel clarity and authority. You have been called to give glory-bound hope to those who have become hopeless. You are called to speak liberating truths to those who have become deceived. You have been called to plead with disloyal children to once again be reconciled to their heavenly Father. You have been called to give glorious motivation to those who have given up. You have been called to shine the light of the glory of God into hearts that have been made dark by looking for life in all the wrong places. You have been called to offer the filling glories of grace to those who are empty and malnourished. You have been called to represent a glorious King, who alone is able to rescue, heal, redeem, transform, forgive, deliver, and satisfy. You have been called.
