Discipleship
Discipleship, being a follower of Jesus, is a journey that lasts throughout our lives. "I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself." Philippians 3:12 And so our aspiration as individuals is to be able to say:- My Life in Christ - I am committed to following Jesus Christ. I have accepted Him as my Saviour. He is Lord, I am His disciple; and I want my thoughts, speech and actions to be under His control, according to the teaching of the Scriptures and through the work of the Holy Spirit. My growth in Christ - My committed intention is to:- - Read the Bible and pray frequently; My Part in Christ's Church - The church is the body of Christ, therefore:- - It is my calling to love my brothers and sisters in Christ and to allow them to love me; Christ is with us, and promises His Spirit - So that we can be sent into the world to serve, therefore:- - I will pray for my family, my community, this nation and God's world; Discipleship is a life-long process, so I expect to keep learning about God, the world, and myself until he welcomes me into heaven. |
