Overview

When it comes to obeying Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations, are you a bit uncertain about how to begin? In this book, Robert E. Coleman shows how discipleship was designed to be a way of life for all Christians. These pages offer a practical and personal application of the principles found in The Master Plan of Evangelism. Using the text of Matthew as an outline, Coleman focuses on the recurring themes of Jesus’ resurrection message to the church: his affirmation, his mandate, and his promise of the Holy Spirit.

“The Great Commission calls us to measure our lives now by this heavenly vision. Whatever does not contribute to its fulfillment is an exercise in futility. So looking to Jesus, let us ‘go out’ to claim our inheritance. The best is yet to be! We are on our way to a great reunion with all the saints of light, when we shall behold our Lord in the glory of His Kingdom.” (Page 23)

“Tragically, however, the chosen people seldom fulfill their role in world evangelization. More often than not they succumb to the sins of the pagans about them and have neither a witness nor a sense of mission to their neighbors.” (Pages 12–13)

“What He asserts here, of course, is implied in the authoritative way disciples are sent forth as well as in the message given them to preach. Jesus is Lord, able to do whatever He wills, and before Him every knee must bow.” (Page 19)

“Clearly God’s purpose is to reach every human being with the gospel (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9). There is no distinction between home missions and foreign missions: It is all world evangelism.” (Page 20)

“Out of this Great Commandment flows the Great Commission.” (Page 97)
