Family,
Being a disciple of Jesus is about more than belief—it’s about a transformative way of living. Discipleship involves aligning your life with Jesus' teachings and example, leading to a deeper relationship with God and others. Here's why it's important:
Growing in Relationship with God:
Discipleship draws you closer to God. By studying Jesus' life, praying, and obeying His commands, you develop intimacy with Him and experience His love and guidance.
Living with Purpose:
Jesus calls His disciples to a life of meaning and mission. Following Him involves sharing the Gospel, serving others, and contributing to the transformation of the world.
Developing Christ-like Character:
Discipleship shapes your heart and mind, helping you to become more like Jesus—compassionate, humble, forgiving, and loving.
Obeying Jesus’ Command:
In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands His followers to “make disciples of all nations.” Discipleship is a response to this call, reflecting a commitment to His mission.
Eternal Impact:
Being a disciple not only influences your present life but also your eternal destiny. It’s about building a foundation of faith that lasts forever.
Discipleship isn’t about perfection but a continual pursuit of Jesus, allowing His Spirit to work in and through you for His glory. It’s a journey of surrender, growth, and abundant life.
Therefore, as we enter the year 2025, let us not only be a disciple of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, let us be intentional in making disciples of all nations.
In His Service,
Pastor Rose
