Go
therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age. Amen
(Matt. 28:19-20, NKJ).
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of
every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make
disciples of all nations. The new birth of man's spirit by God's
Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort
on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the
regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the
teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the
preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every
child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by
verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other
methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
