What Is ? ?

Discipleship Defined Any follower of Christ, a pupil or a follower. A follower of the doctrines of a teacher. A follower of the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Discipleship goes far beyond simply following: “Means more in the New Testament than a mere pupil or learner. It is an adherent who accepts the instructions given to him and makes it his rule of conduct.” Jesus had disciples in the sense that they believed and made His teaching the very basis of their conduct. Zodhiates, pg. 936

Discipleship Defined

What Is Discipleship? Being a disciple means being different from the crowd: Matthew 7:21, James 1:25 Genuine discipleship is observable: John 13:35, 15:8, Luke 6:40 Discipleship is not a 9-5 job but our whole life: Galatians 2:20

The Cost Of Discipleship We must count the cost: Matthew 16:24-26, Luke 14:28-32, Matthew 25:46 Letting Go Of Self: Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34 God demands self-denial: 2 Peter 1:6, Galatians 5:23, 1 Corinthians 9:25 Why deny self? Proverbs 14:12, Jeremiah 10:23, Isaiah 55:8-9

The Cost Of Discipleship Take up Your Cross: Matthew 10:38, 16:24, Mark 8:34 We must live as Jesus lived: 1 Peter 2:21, 1 Corinthians 11:1 We must allow ourselves to be transformed into the image of Christ: Romans 12:1-2; Romans 8:29 Take us your cross DAILY: Luke 9:23, Matthew 6:11, Acts 2:46

The Cost Of Discipleship Lose Your Life for Christ’s Sake: Matthew 10:39; Marks 8:35, Luke 9:24 Living for self will cause one to lose their life: Matthew 19:16-22, Romans 1:28-32 Living for Christ is the only way to find life: 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, Philippians 1:21 Is hell worth it? Matthew 16:26

The Cost Of Discipleship Follow Jesus with Unwavering Commitment: Luke 9:57-62 First man was impulsive: Mark 4:16-17, Luke 9:58, Matthew 10:21-22 Second man was a procrastinator: Acts 6:2, Luke 14:23 Third man was wavering in commitment: Colossians 3:1-3

The Cost Of Discipleship Forsake All That You Have: Luke 14:33 Leaving all to follow Christ: Mark 1:16-20, Matthew 19:27-30 Consider the rich young ruler: Matthew 19:16-22 Counting all things loss: Philippians 3:7-8, Hebrews 12:1
