What Does a Mature Disciple Look Like?

Introduction: “So we preach Christ to everyone. With all possible wisdom we warn and teach them in order to bring each one into God’s presence as a mature individual in union with Christ.” Colossians 1:28 “We are not meant to remain as children but to grow up in every way into Christ.” Ephesians 4:14-15

The Characteristics of a MATURE Disciple 1. The HUB of the Wheel Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 MSG)

2. The SPOKES of the Wheel a. The WORD “If you continue in my Word then you are my disciples indeed. And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32-32 b. PRAYER “If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. In this way, you become my disciples.” John 15:7 c. FELLOWSHIP “Love each other just as much as I love you. Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 15:35 d. WITNESSING “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men” Matthew 4:19

3. The RIM of the Wheel He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is that one who loves Me; and the one that loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and will reveal Myself to him. (John 14:21 LITV)
