Jesus commissioned His followers to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe His commands. In Matthew 28:19-20, this Great Commission is clearly outlined, emphasizing the importance of baptizing and instructing new believers. As seen in Acts 1:8, the early Church took this mandate seriously, spreading the gospel message far and wide. According to John 15:16, disciples are chosen by God to bear fruit, and in John 15:8, this fruitfulness is tied to their relationship with Christ, demonstrating the vital role of discipleship in the Christian life, as further emphasized in Matthew 28:19.
