Which statement best summarizes the three parts of the Great Commission as described?

• A. Spread the Gospel; Make Disciples of All Nations (Baptize); Love/Serve Others Like Jesus
• B. Worship God, Observe the Sabbath, Tithe
• C. Build Temples, Recruit Leaders, Govern Nations
• D. Pray Constantly, Study Scripture, Avoid Outsiders

Answer: (A)

The Great Commission centers on three actions Jesus gave his followers: go and proclaim the Gospel, bring people into the faith community through baptism, and teach them to live out all that Jesus commanded. Spreading the Gospel describes going out with the message of Jesus. Making disciples of all nations through baptism highlights forming new believers and welcoming them into the community. The call to love and serve others like Jesus points to living out his teachings as obedient disciples. The other options miss this threefold pattern altogether, focusing on practices or attitudes not presented in Jesus’ commission. So the best answer aligns with proclaiming the Gospel, baptizing and discipling, and embodying Jesus’ love in daily life.
