8TH GRADE TEXT BOOK
Unit II Discipleship
Overview
Christian discipleship is the process and
practice of being a true follower of Jesus Christ. Discipleship
is a life long process that begins with receiving Christ as Lord
and Savior. Learning from Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher, the
disciple becomes His follower. The follower’s life, as a
learner, when marked by obedience, love, and faithfulness,
becomes a role model. Discipleship involves living in constant
denial of self and taking up one’s own cross daily and following
Jesus. It demands complete obedience and a commitment to Christ.
Hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, meditating on the Word
of God, and applying Christ’s message in one’s own life is the
way to become a successful disciple. Disciples should fellowship
with the people of God, and show the evidence of discipleship in
their life through obedience to God, love for one another and
bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
