When Jesus lived on earth, He invited people to “come, follow me”. He also sent them out to preach, heal, and serve. Some of His parting words to His followers included these instructions:

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
