Christians often wonder why God doesn't immediately take believers to heaven after salvation. The answer lies in the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, where Jesus commands us to make disciples of all nations. With over 43% of the world's population still unreached by the gospel, our purpose on earth is clear: we are disciples called to make disciples. This mission involves being sent into our daily environments, publicly declaring our faith through baptism, and learning obedience to Christ's teachings. The task may seem overwhelming, but Jesus promises His constant presence, giving us the power and courage needed to fulfill this divine calling.
