Jesus’ so-called “Great Commission” that we find in Matthew 28:18-20 is a familiar passage. In it Jesus commands His followers to “Go.” Jesus received the authority to give this command from His Father, and He endows His followers with His authority to carry the command out boldly and confidently. Jesus command carries with it the promise that we do not “go” alone to fulfill His command, but that He will be with us always.
In Galatians 2:20, Paul explains how our faith in Jesus’ resurrection means that we have died to our old life of sin and now live the new life of Christ within us. Furthermore, Paul tells us that abiding in this new life in Christ calls us to submit ourselves in obedience to Him and to allow Him to lead us in a new direction of service in His Name.
Our confession of faith in Jesus’ resurrection is how we are saved from death in our sins into eternal life in the presence of God. But if our profession of faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is genuine, His Spirit dwelling in us will bring about a change in us. He will draw us into sacrificial service for others – making our faith alive through the works we do by His power in obedience to His call.
