In Matthew 24:14, Jesus said to His disciples, this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then the end come. What did Jesus mean by that? What does this mean for Christians?
Jesus commanded believers to preach the gospel of the Kingdom
This gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (မက်သယူး 24:14)
Jesus commanded believers to preach the gospel of the Kingdom to everyone. ယေရှုက, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature(မှတ်သားပါ။ 16:15). ဟိ commandments of Jesus and the great commission were not only meant for His disciples then, but for all His followers, who have become His disciples.
When you have decided to follow Jesus and made Him Lord over your life, then you are His disciple.
As His disciple, you should listen to Him and do, what Jesus has commanded you to do (ဖတ်လည်းဖတ်ပါ။: Following Jesus will cost you everything).
If you say, that you believe and that you are a Christian, but you don’t listen to Jesus and His words and don’t do what Jesus says, and what Jesus has commanded you to do, then you are not a follower of Jesus and don’t belong to Him.
Because Jesus said, that His followers will listen to His voice and do what He says.
And why call ye Me, သခင်, သခင်, and do not the things which I say? (လု 6:46)
One of these commandments, which Jesus gave, is to preach this gospel of the Kingdom. This means to bring the good news of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to everyone. သောကြောင့်, everyone can make a decision, to believe the gospel and accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ or to not believe the gospel and reject the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Until the gospel is preached in the entire world, as a witness unto all nations, then the end shall come.
