Jesus in Matthew 28,18-19 (NIV):
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations."
We are called to witness for Jesus - so we'd better prepare. You telling your story, could be the start of someone's transformation. All is true and well thought out, Paul said about his testimony in Acts 26:25 - according to the Norwegian Bible.
In Luke 24, we are reminded of both preaching the Gospel and about being witnesses. In John 20, Jesus gives us power to forgive sins.
In Matthew 28 we see that obedience is the nature of discipleship. We disciple people by baptising them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.
