Jesus Tells Us How to Know if We Are Truly His Disciple
Jesus tells us the way to know for sure if we are His disciples or whether we are not.
A True Disciple
Jesus tells us the way to know for sure if we are His disciples or whether we are not. By the way, being a disciple does not mean we are a spiritual person or religious. God doesn’t want any more religious people (remember the Pharisees?). He wants disciples after His own heart with the express purpose of being more like Christ, “So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33). If people or possessions are more important than Jesus, then we are not truly a disciple of His.
What is a Disciple?
What exactly is a disciple? It comes from the Old English discipul (fem. discipula) which comes from the Latin discipulus, meaning, “pupil, student, follower,” and said to be from discere “to learn” from which we get the word “discern” and that comes from the root word, dek which means “to take, accept” (hint: Matt 28:18-20).
