In recent reflections, I have observed that the church has become so preoccupied with its internal activities that it has overlooked the crucial mission of sharing God's Plan of Salvation beyond its sanctuary. Just outside our church doors, there are individuals who are lost, homeless, battling addiction, and spiritually adrift, leading lives devoid of purpose and hope.

The Great Commission is a critical mission given by Jesus Christ to Christians, as outlined in Matthew 28:18-20. In these verses, Jesus commands, “All power is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” This is not a mere suggestion but a directive emphasizing the importance of spreading His message actively.

Understanding Jesus and being knowledgeable about the Bible are foundational, yet they are not sufficient for Salvation. True faith requires a personal relationship with Jesus and a commitment to advancing His kingdom. Believers must internalize God’s Word, letting it shape their actions, and apply biblical teachings in daily life as crucially as knowing them.
