Following Jesus: Becoming a Disciple
October 27, 2018
IDEA 1: With most people, there is a learning/processing journey to be made, to get to the place of following Jesus as one of His disciples.
The searches for life …
“If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10
The snags from faith …
I am not good enough
I do not know enough
I do not believe enough
The step of faith…
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through who we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.” Romans 5:1
IDEA 2: How one comes to Jesus sets the course for their entire Christian life.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him.
Colossians 2:6
Just as you received Christ Jesus, continue to live in Him
