Walking With JesusEjemplo

Become a Disciple-Maker

The ultimate goal of our discipleship should be to make other disciples. God has called us to make disciples of the nations. Jesus never said: “Come follow me, because I have a wonderful plan for your life and I want to bless you.” Although the gift of salvation is free, it will cost us our lives to follow Jesus. 

Some marks of a true disciple:

• A person who has committed his life to Christ
• A person who believes in the finished work of Jesus
• A person who loves and obeys the work of God
• A person who serves God and others wholeheartedly
• A teachable and humble person
• A faithful person
• A person whose fruit is evident in his service for God and the Body of Christ
• A person who witnesses to others and disciples them

Discipleship is God’s strategy to reach the nations.

Self-discovery:

• Who should we focus on when choosing a disciple? (2 Timothy 2:2)
• How does a disciple become like his Lord? (Luke 6:40; 2 Timothy 1:9)
• What must a disciple do? (Mark 8:34; Galatians 2:20)
• What is the main thing we are commanded to teach a disciple? (Matthew 28:20; 1 John 3:2-3)

Reflection questions (write your answers in a journal):

• Which areas must you still grow in (to become a true disciple)?

Action:

Identify two other people who are new believers and think of ways in which you can serve them.
