"a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit"         (James 2:15-16 NKJV)

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that- I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen  

Commentary:

Matt. 28:18 All authority has been given to Jesus, although He is not yet exercising all of it (see Phil. 2:9; Heb. 2:5; 10:12, 13; Rev. 3:21). He will manifest this power when He returns in all His glory (see Matt. 19:28; 1 Cor. 15:27, 28; Eph. 1:10). The word authority normally refers to delegated authority (as in Matt. 8:9; 9:6, 8; 10:1; 21:23, 24, 27). The Father would give this authority to the Son (Phil. 2:9). Here the Lord Jesus may have been recalling the prophecy recorded in Dan. 7:13.

Matt. 28:19, 20 Therefore shows that the Great Commission rests on the authority of Christ. Because He has authority over all, everyone needs to hear His gospel. While vv. 18 are commonly known as the Great Commission, they should not be thought of as the first call for world evangelism. See Gen. 12:1 for God's command that Abraham and his descendants should be a blessing to all nations. make disciples: Making disciples involves three steps: going, baptizing, and teaching. It was assumed that when a person trusted in the Lord Jesus, he or she would be baptized. The word name is singular, although it is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together. This verse is another indication that God is one in three Persons. I am with you always demonstrates that Jesus is the true Immanuel, "God with us" (see Matt. 1:23; Heb. 13:5, 6; Rev. 21:3).

God comes, in His love, to deliver us by His power, God, who is rich in mercy, according to his great love gave us the authority  to carry on  His teachings. Blessed are those who follow His order for they will enjoy the kingdom of heaven.  One  authority that God gave us is to forgive.  Mature of the word is not,  because you know the scripture, that you go to church, being mature you know how to forgive, you know how to love your enemy. Amen
