Three Basic Elements of Discipleship
1. Truth (v2)
Philippians 3:17: “Join with others in following my example and take special note of those who live according to the pattern we gave to you.”
3. Multiplication (v2)
Don’t just learn for yourself, learn for others
There is nothing better that you can do with your life than to invest it in making disciples of Jesus Christ
“One of the first verses of Scripture that Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigators, encouraged me to memorise was: “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. “ (2 Timothy 2:2 KJV) This is like a mathematical formula for spreading the gospel and enlarging the church. Paul taught Timothy; Timothy shared what he knew with faithful men; these faithful men would then teach others also. And so the process goes on and on. If every believer followed this pattern, the church could reach the entire world in one generation! Mass crusades, in which I believe and to which I have committed my life will never finish the Great Commission; but a one-to-one ministry will.” (Billy Graham)
