The gospel commission is the great missionary charter of Christ's kingdom. The disciples were to work earnestly for souls, giving to all the invitation of mercy. They were not to wait for the people to come to them; they were to go to the people with their message.

Evangeliets forkyndelse er Kristi riges store missionsbefaling. Disciplene skulle arbejde alvorligt for sjælene og bringe alle nådens bud. De skulle ikke afvente, at mennesker kom til dem; de skulle gå ud til folk med deres budskab.
