Discipleship

Are you willing to have this single purpose in life? – Oswald Chambers

Am I willing to be of no value to this age or this life except for one purpose and one alone—to be used to disciple men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ?

Christianity demands discipleship – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Imitating Christ – Francis Chan

It’s impossible to be a disciple or a follower of someone and not end up like that person. Jesus said, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). That’s the whole point of being a disciple of Jesus: we imitate Him, carry on His ministry, and become like Him in the process.

Put it into practice – Thomas Boston

Whatever you learn from the word, labor to put it in practice. … No wonder they get little insight into the Bible who make no conscience of practicing what they know. But while the stream runs into a holy life, the fountain will be the more free.

Interest in Discipleship – Allan Coppedge

Today’s rising interest in discipleship grows out of the experience of the evangelical church as it discovers it can no longer exist just to do evangelism and provide worship for believers.

Adherence to Christ – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Discipleship means adherence to Christ, and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract Christology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge on the subject of grace or on the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous.
