                                                                        Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit - Matthew 28; 19

1.     It was not a suggestion or recommendation it is a commandment which requires action

B.     Because God Choose us to do it

                                                              You did not choose me, but I choose you and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit John 15; 16
