“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
One of the last instructions that Jesus gave his
disciples before his ascencion into heaven was to make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. A disciple is someone who accepts and helps
to spread the teachings of someone famous. Christians should be
disciples of Christ, we should accept, live, and spread the word of
who Christ said he was and what he taught.
Once someone has accepted Christ into their lives, they
are baptized in order to publicly show the world that they are
disciples of Christ. This is a public confession that they believe
and have accepted that Jesus is Lord, that he died on the cross for
our sins, that everything Jesus said about himself, the Kingdom of
God, and what one must do to inherit this kingdom, is true.
