Jesus gave us the command to go and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19 NIV
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Most of us know about the word of God, the birth of Jesus Christ, His fulfillment of Law, Prophecies. But many wont trust or wont believe in Jesus. Jesus says that he came to fulfill the Law in Matthew 5:17, then Jesus continues to say who will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. Then again Jesus says about Righteousness.
In Matthew 11, Jesus warns about the whole community, i.e. the impenitent cities, in those cities & places where they know about the God, but yet neglect it.
Here Jesus first confirms us that he came to fulfill the Law:
Second he assures that not one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Then at Third, Jesus says about those who does and teaches the commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven,
At Fourth Jesus says unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 11
New King James Version (NKJV)
Woe to the Impenitent Cities
20 Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
Matthew 5:17-20
New King James Version (NKJV)
Christ Fulfills the Law
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Second he assures that not one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Then at Third, Jesus says about those who does and teaches the commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven,
At Fourth Jesus says unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus came to fulfill the law, our responsibility is to preach the gospel to the poor, to exceed in Righteousness than scribes and pharisees, to Love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind.
Matthew 22:36-40
New King James Version (NKJV)
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
John 14:21 NIV
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."
Mark 6:11 NIV
And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
Mark 16:15 NIV He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation

JOHN 21:
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
