Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore, go and  make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.  And be sure of this:  I am with you always, even to the end of the age." 
Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)
