Jesus Calls Disciples NOT Converts Proselytes Believers





Jesus Christ 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 Spirit,
and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded them. Jesus
requires His followers to be disciples. What is wrong with the world
today is that Christians are converts, proselytes, they are not
disciples of Jesus Christ and this is what Jesus said to the
Pharisees.
I read from a Matthew
23:15 "Woe to you,, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because you
travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte and when he
becomes one you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."
What is wrong with a Christian world today is that it is full of
converts, proselytes, believers; they believe in Jesus Christ, they
believe in the Bible, they have converted to Christianity, but they
have not become disciples of Jesus Christ. They are not born again
and they are not children of God. They are sons of hell. A disciple
is a born again a child of God, a person who is born of water and of
the Spirit of God, a person that knows and follows Jesus Christ, His
sheep that listen to His voice and who follow Him. They do not just
believe in Him, but they know Him. They serve Him and they follow
Him.
Those who just believe in
Jesus Christ will not be saved, it is those who follow and obey Him
that will have eternal life. Jesus called disciples not converts and
proselytes, not Christians by name, because that means nothing. By
their works you can know what they are, by their fruit you will know
them, they are sinners they are not children of God. If a person
follows Jesus Chris, if he has become a disciple of Jesus then he
does not sin. He follows and obeys Jesus Christ, he is a child of
God.
Are you a disciple of
Jesus Christ, or do you just believe in Jesus for salvation? Because
if you do not follow and obey Him, if you are not a disciple then you
are none of Him, and He will say to you:"Go away I never knew
you you worker of iniquity."
May Jesus bless you.
