GO … MAKE DISCIPLES … BAPTIZING

May 20 - Start Your Day Right Devotion

Matthew 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them I the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Go ... Make Disciples ... Baptizing

These words are referred to as Christ’s Great Commission (His primary command, instruction, and task - along with the authority to carry it out). This command applies to all His followers of every generation. In His final instructions, Christs states the goal and responsibility of His church (all His faithful followers - individually, in local congregations and as a worldwide community). They are to take His message to people of all nations and cultures. 
  1. The church is to go into all the world and spread the message of Christ as revealed in His own teaching and through the teaching of His apostles (those He personally appointed to establish His original church and message, Acts 14:4) as revealed throughout the New Testament (Ephesians 2:20). This task includes the responsibility of sending missionaries into every nation (Acts 13:1-4).
  2. The preaching of the gospel is centered on “repentance and forgiveness of sins” (Luke 24:47;  Matthew 26:28), the promise of receiving “the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38) and the challenge to live in a way that is uniquely different from the spiritually corrupt world (Acts 2:40). We must also preach with an expectation of Jesus’ return for His church (Acts 3:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).
  3. The primary purpose of Christ’s commission was to make disciples (Greek matheteusate) - disciplined “learners” and followers of Jesus who live by His commands and are continually growing in their relationship with Him. To make disciples is the only direct command in this passage (the word “go” could be translated “as you are going”). Many people talk about the Great Commission as a call to evangelism (to spread Christ’s message of forgiveness and new life with the aim that people will respond positively and accept Christ). But Christ’s words here are really a commission to the deeper aspect of discipleship - which goes beyond evangelism and on to solid teaching and continual spiritual nurturing that produces growth and progress. Effective evangelism cannot be separated from true discipleship. Christ does not intend for His followers to simply convert to Christianity; He wants them to train and mentor (train by teaching and example) other people who will faithfully follow Christ and lead others to Him as well. If individuals who accept Christ do not grow beyond that starting point, they will almost certainly abandon their faith and likely become spiritually hardened toward God. A church's spiritual energies and efforts must not be focused merely on enlarging church membership, but in making true disciples - life-long followers of Christ who avoid evil, follow Christ’s commands and pursue His purposes with all their heart, mind and will (Matthew 22:37; John 8:31). 
  4. Christ commands us to concentrate on reaching spiritually lost men and women with His message of hope, but this does not mean that believers are called to Christianize society or to expect that all of the world will become Christians. While we must strive to make a positive difference in the world, we also must understand that the world system will remain defiant toward God until he returns to earth for the final time to destroy evil and judge the wicked. Until then, God’s people must separate themselves from the corrupt beliefs, behaviors and lifestyles that surround them. Believers and lifestyles that surround them. Believers should devote themselves wholeheartedly to God and His purposes (Romans 13:12; 2 Corinthians 6:14). Devotion to Christ includes not hesitating to expose the evil and shame in the world so as to encourage others to avoid it (Ephesians 5:11-12). 
  5. Those who believe in Christ - who accept His message by faith and actively yield their lives to Him - are to be “baptized” with water. (The word translated “baptized” literally speaks of being immersed or put completely under the water.) This act of obedience serves as a public statement of faith in Christ - a sign that a person is identifying with Jesus in His death, burial (going under the water; Colossians 2:12) and resurrection (coming up out of the water). It represents a person’s spiritual pledge to turn away from sin and immorality, to die to one’s own sinful nature and, with God’s help, to be raised up to live a new life (Romans 6:4). In this new life, the believer is completely committed to Christ and His purposes (Acts 22:16).
Christ will be with His obedient followers through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:20; 1:23; 18:20). They will be able to fulfill their task to take Christ’s message wherever they go, even to all people and all nations, only after they are “clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8).

    Book of Matthew Bible Study

    $20.00

    I'm excited to announce the new bible study starting soon.

    Tailspin Farms Life In Grace will be studying The Book of Matthew.  


    NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. 


    The Gospel of Matthew

    he Word Gospel. The first book of the English Bible that most of us read from is the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew is the first of the four gospel writings, yet there is only one gospel about Jesus Christ and there are four different writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word "Gospel" means "good news", and the good news is about Jesus Christ dying on the cross and then 3 days later conquering death and rising from the dead, offering salvation to all mankind, this is the Gospel.


    I hope you that you'll participate in this 15-week series.

    Matthew has 28 chapters. For the in-depth study the 154-page eBook will help with your study.

    Book of Micah Bible Study

    $14.00

    Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of MICAH!

    The book of MICAH is from the Old Testament.


    The book of Micah contains many warnings of doom and prophecies of hope. 


    In this study on Micah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Micah.


    The prophet Micah was from the small town of Moresheth Gath in southern Judah, a productive agricultural area about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem.

     Like Amos, he came from the rural countryside, probably from a family of humble status. While the prophet Isaiah was in Jerusalem addressing the king and international affairs, 

    Micah was a country prophet who was deeply sensitive to the social issues that affected the small towns and villages throughout Judah. 


    I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

    Thank you,

    Margarita
