THE GREAT COMMISSION

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Did you notice that the above passage of Scripture does not say GO and convert the nations to Christianity. NO, is says GO and make disciples. Making disciples is a process and it is not to be taken lightly. It involves commitment and discipline on the part of both the discipler and disciple. There is no set amount of time or allotted course study that will make a disciple and our training and equipping continues far beyond this syllabus.

Being a disciple maker of believers is both an honor and great responsibility. It is not something for which everyone is necessarily gifted and graced. However, believers everywhere need to understand that we all have a part in the process of making disciples and helping His sons discover the purpose for which they were born.

Due to the reality that there is very little disciple making going on in the world today, many believers in this generation have yet to discover the purpose for which they were born, and even fewer ever fully receive their rightful inheritance as SONS.
