4
YOU NEED TO BECOME A DISCIPLE
FOR YOUR SAVIOR.
Your continued faithfulness in these
simple studies indicates a heart that God will surely
bless abundantly. Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
they shall be filled. Receiving Christ
as Lord and Savior of our life may take but a moment
in time, but getting to know Him and to grow in
Him is a matter of time. It is a matter of growth
in fellowship through the study of the Word of God
and learning to pray. Sin is the only thing that
blocks our union and our communion with Jesus.
A disciple is follower, a learner.
Jesus never looked for converts, only disciples.
His command to the disciples was to go into
all the world and make disciples of all nations.
This is His last earthly command! It takes
a disciple to win and build another disciple. Christ
wants you to be His disciple, to truly live for
Him.
Be sure you answer each question,
using your own words, after prayerful meditation
on the verses selected from John.
