Heading 5
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” is still in effect.
His promise “and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” still stands. In light of this promise, our commitment to faithful obedience continues with confidence and hope.
