1. TO DISCIPLE ALL NATIONS And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 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 of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:18-19 AV) 2. TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD (i.e. geographically and into every area of living and learning) AND PREACH (proclaim and publish) THE GOSPEL (good news) TO EVERY CREATURE (red, black, white, brown, yellow) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15 AV) 3. TO PREACH REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SINS IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:45-49 AV) 4. TO TEACH ALL MANKIND So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (John 21:15-17 AV) 5. TO REPRESENT HIM AT HOME, IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AND SOCIETY, NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8 AV) 6. THE GREAT COMMISSION IS AN OPPORTUNITY FROM GOD FOR US TO FULFILL THE CREATION MANDATE So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:27-28 AV)
