What is the great commission?
- Do you know your great commission?
As new creations, born-again, believers in Jesus Christ our mission is to no longer be self, for selfish gain or even fulfilling our own wants or desires.
Our mission is the great commission. Not fulfilling the great commission is to choose to live in rebellion against God –His Word.
Does this mean we slack in our responsibilities to work, care for our families or even go grocery shopping. No! (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42)
- What is does mean, is our eternal focus should supersede our temporal status.
So whether it is a church, or an individual who is a child of God, we have no scriptural basis to claim “I/we did it in the past.” This holds no merit and it walks in disobedience to Christ –to the great commission we have been commanded to fulfill.
- The great commission is never passive.
- The great commission is active!
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “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 28:18-20
Is God pleased with your mission or does it need to be adjusted?
