What does the Bible say about the church's commission?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that the church's commission is to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them all things commanded by Christ (Matthew 28:19-20).

According to Matthew 28, Jesus commissions His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. This command encompasses a three-fold responsibility: first, to make disciples; second, to baptize them; and third, to teach them all things that Christ commanded. This commission is directed specifically to the local church, not individual believers or parachurch organizations. It emphasizes the church's authority and responsibility to carry out the Great Commission under the headship of Christ, ensuring that faithful obedience is maintained throughout the church's ministry until the end of the age.
