The Great Commission

Through the centuries of church history, Christians have been motivated to spread the gospel by Jesus'  words, spoken just before He ascended into heaven.  Quoted here from the King James Version of the Bible, the verses are found in Matthew 28:18-20.

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

Why should we go?  Faith in Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation. Click on the button below to view a video with the Biblical basis of this statement.
