What Makes A Good Disciple?

approved

Have you thought about His (God) handling of the gospel? God needs to get a message out the human race, without which they will perish…forever. What’s the plan? First, He starts with the most unlikely group ever: a couple of prostitutes, a few fishermen with no better than a second-grade education, a tax collector. Then, he passes the ball to us. Unbelievable. — John Eldredge

awesome.

amazing.

wow.

look at who God uses.

Those who believe in him and have faith.

i am called.

i am qualified because God calls me.

i am qualified because he enables me and empowers me.

i am approved because God calls me.

i am approved because he enables and empowers me.

what makes a good disciple?

not qualifications… not talents or gifts… but a heart willing to yeild to God and do his will.  humility.  taking up our cross and being transformed into the character and image of Jesus.

what makes a good disciple?

someone that is prepared to lay their life down for the plans and purposes of God.

which is good news!

i do not need to be the smartest or the best or the most charismatic…  but i want to know God and make him known and do his will and serve him…
