YOU MIGHT BE A DISCIPLE IF …
·
You are loving:
John 13:35 English Standard Version (ESV)
By this all people will know that you are my
disciples, if you have love for one another.
·
You are in the word:
John 8:31 English Standard Version (ESV)
So Jesus said to the Jews
who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my
disciples,
·
You put aside your plans and do what HE wants:
Mark 8:34 English Standard Version (ESV)
And calling the crowd to
him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come
after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and
follow me.
·
You are like Jesus:
Luke 6:40 English Standard Version (ESV)
A disciple is not above
his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like
his teacher.
·
You are willing to give up your old life:
Luke 14:33 English Standard Version (ESV)
So therefore, any one of
you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
What do you think makes a believer a disciple? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I think a disciple is anyone who will follow Jesus; cling to his word, want to learn from him.
