26 Reasons For Discipleship

7/10/2018

Comments

 
We believe in discipleship! We believe every Christian ought to seek to grow in Christ! But why do churches like this do that? Why do we believe this?

Here are 26 biblical reasons why we value discipleship:

  1. That Christ be formed in us (Gal 4:19)
  2. Be transformed into the glory of the LORD (2 Cor 3:18)
  3. To follow the Spirit by killing sin and producing the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5).
  4. To put on Christ and to live out of our identity in Christ (Colossians 3:1-17).
  5. To Love the LORD our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength (Luke 10:27)
  6. To put on the armor of Christ: to stand against the scenes of Satan (Ephesians 6:10-20)
  7. To be salt and light (Matthew 5:17-20)
  8. To persevere that we might get our full reward (Hebrews 10:35-36).
  9. To be mature that we might no longer be tossed to and fro (Ephesians 4:16-20).
  10. To be wise (Proverbs 1:7)
  11. To grow up like a strong tree and produce fruit in due time (Psalms 1)
  12. To suffer well (Hebrews 10:24-25)
  13. To be transformed (Romans 12:1-2)
  14. That we might not doubt (James 1:5-8)
  15. To show that our faith is genuine (James 2:14-26)
  16. To be holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:16)
  17. That we might not shrink on the day of the Lord’s coming (1 John 2:28-29)
  18. To enjoy God the Father (1 John 3:9-10)
  19. That our lives will have something of lasting, eternal value (1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
  20. That we might preserve God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
  21. To have a clear conscience (2 Timothy 1:3)
  22. To know that we know God (1 John 2:3-4)
  23. To enjoy the fellowship of the people of God (Psalms 133)
  24. To have life rather than death (Romans 6:20-23)
  25. To escape the slavery of sin (Romans 6:23)
  26. To bring about the obedience of the gospel (Romans 10:16)
