Mark 16:15-16
v. 15: Jesus gave the disciples a new mission. He told them to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. Before this, they had only shared the message with the Jewish people, but now it was for everyone, everywhere. The disciples could not do this all by themselves, but they would start spreading the good news, and others would continue after them. The message of Jesus is for all people and should be shared as widely as possible. v. 16: Jesus explained the main message of the gospel: Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned(Mark 16:16 a). Believing in Jesus and following him leads to salvation. Baptism is a sign of this faith, but it is believing in Jesus that truly saves a person (Romans 10:9 b). Those who refuse to believe the gospel will not be saved, because they reject God’s way of forgiveness.
