A Disciple of Christ


A Disciple of Christ

In John chapter 15, Jesus explains that the disciple will pray, bear fruit, and glorify God.  While all of the requirements are important, it is clear that the final destination of a disciple is that their life will glorify Christ.  This can only be done through committing to prayer with the Father.  This allows the disciple to hear the purpose of God for their life.  Without this step, there will be no clear direction concerning the specific will of God for life.  While the universal will of God is for all believers to follow, the specific will helps define individual ministry and goals.  Once the will of God is established for a person, they should begin to bear fruit associated with their ministry and purpose.  When a person commits their life to being a disciple of Christ, sacrifice, love, commitment, and prayer will bring glory to the Father above.
