Review
DISCIPLESHIPAt the heart of the solution is…
Being a disciple of Christ involves…1. Learn the ways of Christ. Mat. 11:28-30 • 1 Thes. 4:1-2 • Col. 2:6-7 • Eph. 4:20-24 There will be either conformation or transformation (Rom. 12:1-2; Heb. 2:1) 2. Follow in the steps of Christ. Luke 9:23 • John 10:27 • 1 Pet. 2:21 • Luke 9:62; Heb. 12:2 We must do what we learn (James 1:22-25) 3. Imitate the mindset of Christ. Phil. 2:4-5 • 1 Cor. 10:32-11:1 • Eph. 4:32-5:2 • Mat. 26:39 What doesn't come naturally, must come studiously.
Why follow Jesus so intently?1. He loves you so much. John 15:13; Gal. 2:20 2. He leads you so perfectly. Heb. 4:15; 1 Pet. 2:22 3. He looks after your welfare eternally. Mat. 16:24-26; John 6:66-69
