The Greatest Commandments and the Great Commission are foundational principles in Christianity. They are closely related to the five pillars of worship, discipleship, fellowship, serving, and evangelism. The First Greatest Commandment is to love God with all one’s heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37).
This aligns with the pillar of worship, emphasizing the central importance of sincere and wholehearted devotion to God.
The Second Greatest Commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39).
This relates directly to fellowship, as it underscores the importance of building genuine relationships within the community.
It also connects to service, as loving your neighbor involves actively meeting their needs.
Additionally, evangelism is an expression of love for neighbors, as sharing the Gospel is a way to guide them toward eternal life.
The Great Commission instructs believers to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).
This is directly tied to the pillars of discipleship and evangelism.
Making disciples involves teaching and nurturing believers in their faith (discipleship), while reaching all nations emphasizes the global aspect of evangelism.
Baptizing and teaching are integral parts of the Great Commission.
Baptism is a public expression of faith, aligning with the worship pillar.
Teaching is a key component of discipleship, emphasizing the importance of instructing believers in the ways of Christ.

The Bible provides numerous verses that shed light on the meaning, purpose, and significance of ministry, highlighting the diverse roles within ministry, and recognizing the gifts and callings of individuals to serve the church and build up the body of Christ.
It emphasizes that ministry is not a one-size-fits-all approach but rather a collaborative effort with various individuals using their unique talents to serve the Lord’s purposes.
Ephesians 4:11-12: “And he gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ.”
Acts 6:3-4: “Therefore, brothers, choose from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this task. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the word of ministry.”
Evangelism is the act of sharing the gospel message with others, inviting them to come to faith in Jesus Christ. It is a central aspect of the Christian life and the Great Commission as described in Act 1:8, as it is how the good news of salvation is spread to the world. You can find the devotion of the church by the allocation of church resources to this ministry.
