Faith is a fellowship of Christ-followers who by faith and through God’s grace have placed their trust in Jesus’ death to pay their personal debt to God for their sin. In this faith, we are saved from God’s wrath and sin’s penalty which separated us from God. In this faith we are placed into the family of God as his child. As part of the family of God, we have an obligation to live like God wants us to live. He is our Father, so we desire to follow His son Jesus and to do what he has asked us to do. In this way we bring honor to God our Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We were given this mission by Jesus Christ when he commissioned all of His followers in Matthew 28:19-20. “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.”
Our mission is to go into the world around us and tell the Good News of Jesus Christ to all people. As we baptize those who believe, identifying them with God, we are then to teach them how to obey the commands of God.
