How Can We Be True Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Discipleship is what the Christian life is all about. But how do we know when we are true disciples? And how do we know when we have trained someone else to be a disciple?
After searching for many years, I finally discovered the answer. It is right in the Great Commission: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20). So what were all the commands of Jesus? A survey of the Gospels will produce about forty-nine general commands that every believer should follow. This, then, is the curriculum for carrying out the Great Commission and being a disciple.
What does it mean to keep Christ’s commands?
Jesus calls us all to be fishers of men.
