 <\/p>\n

In Matthew 28:16-20, the Great Commission calls Jesus\u2019 disciples<\/i><\/em> to go and make<\/i><\/em> disciples<\/i><\/em>. This command involves following Jesus as Savior and Lord and learning to obey and embody all that He has commanded.<\/p>\n

In Ephesians 4:11-13;\u00a02 Timothy 3:16, 17, Paul writes that God has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (His servants) and “all Scripture” (His Word) for the equipping of disciples toward these divine goals: righteousness, every good work, the unity of the faith, and the very measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.<\/p>\n
