What is the commission given to Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are commissioned to be witnesses of the gospel, empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the message of salvation to all nations.

The commission given to Christians is rooted in the command of Jesus to make disciples of all nations, as articulated in Matthew 28:19-20. This commission is empowered by the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 1:8, where Jesus directs His followers to wait for the Holy Spirit and then become witnesses 'in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.' This reflects the inclusive nature of the gospel, meant for people from every tribe and nation. Believers are urged not only to proclaim the message but to live it out, demonstrating their faith through actions that glorify God. The urgency of this commission is underscored by the promise of Christ's return, reminding believers to actively engage in spreading the gospel while they await His coming.
