Our Call To Discipleship

(John 1:37) "And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus." Discipleship is what Christianity is all about. 1) We are called to be "disciples." Both John the Baptist and Jesus were, and their goal was to train believers to be followers of Jesus Christ. 2) We are called to make disciples.  Disciples or new converts don't just appear out of thin air, no they are gained by the soul winning efforts of the saved. (Matt. 28:18-19) "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:..," therefore we are commanded to seek out disciples and then disciple them. 3) We are commanded to train disciples. Once we lead a soul to the Lord God expects us to bring them into the Church, see them baptized, and then trained. To birth them and not follow up on them would not be in obedience to the Great Commission of Matthew 28. Therefore, it is our calling to go, make, and teach disciples for Christ out of every nation and tongue.
