Discipleship

'What is Discipleship?'

Discipleship:  dis·ci·ple·ship n. The state of being a disciple or follower in doctrines and precepts.

Disciple:  dis·ci·ple n. 1. One who embraces and assists in spreading the teachings of another. 2. An active adherent, as of a movement of philosophy. 3. One of the original followers of Jesus. 4. A member of the Disciples of Christ.

By definition, a disciple is a follower, one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another. A Christian disciple is a person whom accepts and assists in the spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ. Discipleship is a process which enables a person to grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and equips them to overcome joyfully the pressures and trials of this present life. This process requires believers to constantly examine their thoughts, words and actions in accordance with the Word of God. We should always be ready to give testimony for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15) and disciple others to walk in His way.

 "...So that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."    Ephesians 4:12b-13 (NIV)
