Series Definition
Disciple: Someone who, by faith, is devoted to knowing, learning of, and obeying Jesus Christ. In the New Testament Church, a disciple (a) enters into a saving relationship with Jesus by faith, (b) knows Jesus by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-18, 25-27), (c) learns of Jesus through the study of Scripture (John 5:39-40), and (d) obeys Jesus by the power of the same Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24). This entire process is facilitated under the authority of, and with the guidance of leaders and peers within, a local church (Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Timothy 3:14-15; Hebrews 13:7, 17).
2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Disciples ARE…
- Free… from the power, presence and penalty of sin (John 8:32; Romans 6:18)
- Holy… Separated and sanctified unto God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
- Humble… Mind conformed to the attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:5)
- Anointed… with the Holy Spirit and empowered to do whatever God asks (2 Corinithians 1:22-22).
I AM WHO GOD SAID I AM AND I CAN DO WHAT GOD SAID I CAN DO!
