Synopsis: &“Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.&” — 1 Tim. 4:7, J. B. Phillips TranslationAs J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ; it involves the whole person and lifestyle.True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture&’s command seriously: &“work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.&” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus. This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus&’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be—not one devised by man or even other Christians. You&’ll learn:The profile of an ideal discipleConditions for discipleshipThe tests that disciples endureHow disciples pray and growThe posture and practices of a discipleAnd moreFor anyone who wants to be not just a believer in Christ, but an imitator of Him, this book is a treasured resource. Includes questions for reflection, ideal for both individual and group study.
