The Great Commission is necessary as it commands believers to preach the gospel, which is the only means by which individuals are saved.
The necessity of the Great Commission stems from God's ordained method of saving sinners through the preaching of the gospel. As outlined in Romans 10:14-15, Paul emphasizes that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Without the proclamation of the gospel, individuals remain in their natural state of depravity and under God's wrath. Therefore, the Church's mission to preach is not merely an option, but a divine command that carries eternal consequences for those who believe and for those who do not. The Great Commission serves as a guiding principle for Christians to fulfill God's purpose on earth.
