The Biblical Call to Missions

Table of Contents

“Explore how the Bible presents the call to take the Gospel to all nations.”

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20

The Universal Call to Missions

The Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:19-20, stands as one of the most defining moments in the Christian faith. These words from Jesus command all believers to share the Gospel, not as an option but as a divine mandate.

Throughout the Bible, we see God’s heart for the nations. From Abraham’s call to be a blessing to all peoples (Genesis 12:1-3) to the prophetic vision of every nation worshiping God in Revelation 7:9, the biblical narrative points to a mission of global significance.

Understanding the Great Commission

  1. Go: The call to “go” is not confined to geographical travel. It’s about stepping outside of our comfort zones, whether that’s across the street or across the world, to share the love of Christ.
  2. Make Disciples: Discipleship involves more than conversion. It’s about nurturing believers to grow in their faith and become disciples who make more disciples.
  3. Baptize: Baptism signifies a public declaration of faith, symbolizing unity with Christ and the global Christian community.
  4. Teach: Teaching ensures that the Gospel’s truths are understood, embraced, and passed on. This step solidifies the faith of new believers and equips them to share it with others.

Missionaries as Modern-Day Respondents

Missionaries today continue to live out this biblical call. Whether in bustling cities or remote villages, they dedicate their lives to making disciples of all nations. Their work reflects the obedience and love that Jesus modeled during His ministry.

At GlobalOne80.org, missionaries embody this calling, tackling challenges to bring hope and transformation to communities worldwide. They remind us that every believer has a role in God’s mission, whether as a sender, supporter, or goer.

How You Can Participate

Missions are a collective effort. While not all are called to physically “go,” everyone can contribute. Through prayer, financial support, or sharing the stories of missionaries, you become a vital part of God’s work.
