True discipleship is obeying Jesus Christ and learning of Him and following Him and doing what He tells you to do, keeping His commandments and carrying out His will. That kind of a person is a Christian\u2014and no other kind is.1<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has not taken an impulsive leap in the dark. That person is one who has become a Christian after deep thought and proper consideration.2<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has reached the point in Christian experience where there is no turning back. Follow him or her for 24 hours of the day and night. You will find you can count on that person\u2019s faithfulness to Christ and his or her joyful abiding in the Word of God.3<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has felt the sense of personal sin and the need to be released from it.4<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
There is nothing that Jesus has ever done for any of His disciples that He will not do for any other of His disciples!5<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has allowed the Word of God to search his or her heart6<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has come to believe that Jesus Christ is the only person who can release him or her from guilt.7<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple has committed himself or herself without equivocation, without reservation to Jesus Christ the Savior.8<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A true disciple does not consider Christianity a part-time commitment. That person has become a Christian in all departments of his or her life.9<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Christianity on impulse is not the answer to discipleship. God isn\u2019t going to stampede us into the kingdom of God.10<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
As Christian disciples, we should be whatever we are wherever we are. Like a diamond. A diamond doesn\u2019t adjust\u2014it is always a diamond.<\/p>\n
And so, Christians ought always to be Christians. We are not Christians if we have to wait for the right atmosphere to practice our religion. We are not Christians if we have to go to church to be blessed. We are not Christians until we are thoroughly Christ\u2019s\u2014until we have reached the point of no return, not seasonal anymore\u2014but regular always. Then, the Lord says, we are real disciples. We are following on to know the Lord!11<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
