Becoming Disciples For Christ

 April 13, 2025

Verse of the day - Acts 6:7 (NRSV)

The word of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.

In chapter 2 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about becoming disciples.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

I desire more people to become My disciples.  Discipleship is hard, and people will come against you.  Do not be afraid of them.  When you become one of My disciples, you will begin speaking My words to other people.  I love everyone the same.  You are all My children, and there is nothing that will happen to you that I don't already know about.  I do not allow anything to happen to you that you and I cannot handle together.  Everyone who believes in Me will be protected by the Blood of the Lamb.  I am the Lamb that was slain for all mankind.  It is by My Blood that everyone who believes in Me is saved.

Jesus is calling out to us to become disciples for Him.  When we know Him as our Lord and Savior, He desires us to become His disciples.  In order to draw more people back to the bright light of Christ, we need to share our faith and knowledge of Jesus with one another.  When we become disciples for Christ, many times, people will come against us.  With Jesus by our side, we should not fear whatever may come our way because Jesus will always have our back.  He will be with us every step of the way.
