LESSON 2: MARKS OF A DISCIPLE 1
(Knowledge &Obedience to the Word)
Main Text: Matthew 28:16-20
Memory Verse: John8:31
Introduction
Becoming a disciple of Christ is a life of total commitment. God desires that you take the first step i.e. commit yourself to become Jesus’ disciple. However, there are certain marks that identify a person as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Actually, these marks prove that you are really Jesus' disciple. This study would consider these marks. The FIRST mark of Christ's disciple is that he continues in the Word of God.
• For the disciple, the Word is his life. He loves it. He lives in it. He thinks it, breathes it, speaks it, lives it, and gives up anything that hinders him from getting it.
• He continues in the Word, because in it he knows that he will find the truth. And when he finds the truth, he knows that the truth will set him free-John 8:31-32
• Jesus told the disciples that in making others his disciples, they should teach them to obey ALL He has commanded them-Matt. 28:20
• The disciple of Jesus Christ is marked by his desire to know the Word of God and live by it.
