Why We Make Disciples

We make disciples because it is our goal is to follow Jesus’ commands. We cannot make disciples without first being disciples ourselves. The making of disciples does not necessarily begin and end in the church. We are often called to go out into the communities as Jesus did. Making disciples will usually start with family, friends, and people we may know. But, we first have to become a disciple (followers of Christ).

Christ Defines Discipleship

Christ tells us that all power and authority in Heaven and earth has been given to Him (MATTHEW 28:18). He then tells us that with this “power”, we are to go and make disciples of all nations, Baptizing them in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (MATTHEW 28:16-20). He wants His disciples to be His witnesses throughout the world as soon as they activate the Holy Spirit dwelling within (ACTS 1:8). He wants us to establish His kingdom here on earth (MATTHEW 6:10). This often calls for us to spend weeks, months, or even years making discipling individuals. They must allow us to be a part of their lives. They must make the decision to say yes to God and yes to the need for a Savior, allowing God to make their lives better. God cannot intercede in a person’s life without their consent; nor can we, help individuals if they do not allow us into their lives.
