What Does it Mean to be a Disciple?
Discipleship isn’t just about believing in something; it’s about doing something. It’s about sharing the gospel and equipping others to do the same. It’s an active process, not a passive acceptance of faith. Discipleship means following Jesus’ example and being ready to endure hardships as we do.
The most important call to discipleship comes directly from Jesus in what’s known as the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). This passage commands us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them, and teaching them to observe all that Jesus commanded. This isn’t a suggestion, but a core part of what it means to be a Christian.
