A disciple of Jesus is a student who is not only convinced that Jesus exists, but is also fully surrendered to Him and His will.
These are the characteristics of disciples of Jesus:
- They are actively praying for and reaching others to share the Gospel.
- They preach the Word of God instead of their own ideas.
- Disciples spend time in the Bible and in prayer daily to avoid drifting away from God.
- They give their time, talent, and treasure to God.
- True disciples are not afraid to stand out and be different from the world.
- They acknowledge Jesus publicly and follow His commands, even when others reject them.
- Disciples strive to live in God’s will, not their own.
- They reproduce by training and equipping other disciples.
A student must study and prepare in order to pass an exam. Likewise, a disciple must study the Bible and follow Jesus in order to please God and hear Him say “well done” at the Judgement Seat of Christ.
