The _______ remains the COG's mandate from Christ.

• A. Great Commandment
• B. Great Commission
• C. Great Vision
• D. Great Covenant

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the directive Jesus gave His followers to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything He commanded. This call defines the ongoing mission of the church: evangelize, baptize new believers, and continue their growth through teaching and discipleship. It wasn’t meant to be a temporary task but a perpetual mandate coming from Christ to His followers, guiding how the church engages the world across generations.

The Great Commandment—loving God with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself—gives the ethical basis for how we live and relate to others, but it doesn’t specify the outward mission or the method of reaching people with the gospel. The other phrases listed aren’t standard biblical terms for the church’s mandate, so they don’t capture this directive in the same way.
