ALL are called to be Disciples



The gospel of Jesus Christ
is about discipleship. The only way to have eternal life is to become
a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus commanded His disciples to go into
all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, teaching them all
that He taught and commanded them. Those who believe the gospel of
Jesus Christ must obey Him and become disciples or else their faith
cannot save them.
To be a disciple of Jesus
Christ means to obey His commandments, to do what He commanded; to
repent of all sin and to repent of going our own way, to go after
Him, to be baptized in water and to obey His words and then He will
reveal Himself to us. He will come and dwell with us and in us. He
will give His Spirit to teach and guide us. Those who are being led
by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. If we do not have
the Spirit of Christ then we do not belong to Him and we are no
children of God, and we do not have the hope of salvation. If we do
not follow Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life, then we
will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
It is about being a
disciple, a follower of Jesus Christ, being a disciple. It does not
just mean to give away everything that you have and become homeless.
It is about following Jesus Christ and it is for everyone who
believe, whether they be a child, a man, a woman, we are called to be
disciples of Jesus, to live in relationship with Him, to obey Him; to
be led by the Holy Spirit so that our life will be determined by Him,
by His guidance.
Jesus guides and teaches
every individual, every sheep, every person, every disciple, who
follows Him. If we are not led by the Holy Spirit, we have a no
relationship with Jesus Christ. If we just believe in Him, then that
faith cannot save us. We have to become disciples, we have to obey
Him, get to know Him, follow Him. He will reveal Himself to us, we
will know Him, He will guide us, He will teach us. He has a purpose
with each and every disciple, every follower. That is what He calls
us for, to bear fruit for His kingdom, and we can only bear fruit if
we remain in Christ, if we are led by the Holy Spirit, not if we are
just believers, or if we belong to a church or an organization. We
need to belong to Jesus. We need to follow Jesus. Our relationship
with Jesus must be real, or else we do not know Him and when we get
to the end, He will say to us:"Go away, I never knew you."
The gospel of Jesus Christ
is about discipleship. He is calling each and every one of us to
become a child of God, a disciple, who follows and who obeys Him.
Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ? Do you know Jesus? Do you
know His voice? Do you follow Him, or are you just a believer who is
deceiving yourself? Take the gospel of Jesus Christ seriously. Go and
read His words in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and obey Him. Repent,
be baptized in water, seek Him with all your heart. Pray,call out to
Him. Live according to His words and He will reveal Himself to you.
You will get to know Him and you will be able to follow Him. You will
become a disciple.
Have you become a disciple
of Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.
