The Commission

We as saints have a common goal
To go out into the world
Help the needy and win souls

We each have a different destiny
But the purpose is the same
To work in God’s kingdom
And make sure when people choose to live for the world
We are no to blame

The great commission requires each of us
To show the love of Christ
Sometimes people need to hear scriptures
Sometimes a simple hug and “Jesus loves you and wants you” is suffice

In order to do the great commission
We must subject ourselves to submission
To our godly leaders
Those who sow seed into us and give spiritual weed eaters

The great commission requires fighting against
Satan and his demons every day
We must protect with armor of God
And show new saints how to battle the same way

The great commission is the biggest job on earth
But you don’t need a resume, experience, or a degree
All you need is new birth and to admit that 
Christ died and rose to set us all free
