The disciple is really devoted to the teacher. The relationship that goes beyond an apprentice or a student is that they don’t just simply master a subject or a trade because they learn to follow the life of their teachers. As Christians, we turn into disciples, striving to survive based on the teachings of Christ.
Part of being Jesus disciple is to make disciples. It will depend on whom you ask you will probably get some very different explanations about what making disciples appears to be, and also how to go with it.
1. Matthew 28:19–20 - The Great Commission
This is the most popular Scripture about making disciples. Its Great Commission is about where Jesus Christ sends the 11 apostles around this known world so they can spread the gospel. Within this passage, Jesus Christ also allocates what he meant by making disciples: to baptize people and to teach them to obey the commands.
2. Mark 16:15
The parallel account Of Mark of Great Commission added that “the disciples goes out and preached all over the place, and the Lord God worked with them then confirmed his word through the signs which accompanied it.
3. Acts 1:8
Here Jesus Christ calls the disciples as his witnesses, urging them to distribute the things they have heard and seen in his presence.
And he said that “as we are making Christian discipleship lessons, we can distribute not only the about the accounts of what a disciple witnessed, but our personal accounts of what we have personally encountered as we have followed Jesus.
4. Romans 10:14–15
Jesus Christ good news and the redemption that he offered is for everybody. Paul highlights the significance of making discipleship through pointing out the clear: you only believed in Jesus Christ because somebody shared the gospel to you. Making discipleship stems from our personal belief—which we only possess because somebody shared the gospel to us. Making discipleship is about continuing a redemption cycle, passing on the belief that was passed on to you.
5. John 1:45
When Philip encountered Christ and found out who he really was, he directly wished to distribute it with his friends. Our longing to make discipleship must stem from obedience, and also our love for others – when we believe Christ is who he said he was, why will we hide it to ourselves?
6. John 15:16
As disciples, we’re growing in maturity. It will only happen if we’re spiritually empowered. Jesus Christ said he is our vine, and his disciples will be the branches. He chose each of his disciples for one purpose, and for it to fulfill they need to stay connected to the vine, to him.
7. Ephesians 4:16
When you turned to be the follower of Christ, you become a part of the body of Christ. The Christ body depends on every member doing their work. We were all made for an exclusive cause, and as his disciples, we are all playing the role in moving ahead the kingdom.
8. Matthew 4:19-20
Many of his original disciples were all fishermen. Jesus Christ took something that they were warmly familiar on doing with—their professions—and made this a new one. He utilized a word picture that they could recognize with to catch them away from the old living. When we invite the others into discipleship, Christ can apply what they are aware of doing to accomplish things that they never imagined.
9. Titus 2:3
Making discipleship is not just giving discipleship lessons but more about instructing others. Paul told Titus here to teach the old women inside the church—those that can make disciples to younger women—and also their example matters. It is important that all of us understands that people had been following the precedent that we are setting.
10. 2 Timothy 2:2
Paul reminded Timothy that he can’t do every work of ministry just on his own. He needed to build up discipleship that he will delegate the task of disciple-making. Appointing other individual to appropriate roles, then delegate the work is the significant part of making discipleship who in turn, can make disciples too.
