When it comes to the subject matter of the true disciples. We often misinterprete the meaning. When we talk about a true disciple, we mean someone who follows God but not just in words now but also in his or her actions.
For me, I personally believe that a true disciple means much more than just going to church or been a Christian. A Christian that is a disciple is someone that is living a life that actually pleases God every day.
In the Bible, Jesus said in Luke 9:23, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
The popular question is the fact that what actually make a true disciple? Well for me I think one of the most important thing about been a true disciple is obedience.
Trust me, it is not always easy to obey God but it is always necessary and at the long run, it will pay off. In John 14:15, Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. Jesus himself said it.
If you truly claim that you love God, you must show it trough obedience and for me loving God is shown in showing obedience to His word.
Another important quality of a true disciple is love. A true disciple must always love others sincerely. The Bible says in John 13:35, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Now this is not easy because the kind of love expected to show is not the erotic kind of love but the agape kind of love which is one of the most difficult but it is always worth it because that is what God expects from us.
