We Must Be Committed To Following Christ Perhaps the one thing that is lacking in discipleship today is a failure to make a commitment to follow Christ in every aspect of one's life. Being a disciple is not something we do once and it is taken care of for the rest of our life. The Lord emphasized a "daily,, commitment(Luke 9:23). We are faced with choices every day in which we have to deny self and do what Christ would have us to do.We are to count the cost before becoming a disciple (Luke 14:28). Once we have made this decision, we are not to look back, but keep moving forward (Luke 9:62). If we are going to make a serious claim to being a disciple of Christ, we must do so on His terms, not on our own. Are we really a disciple of Christ? Have we put Him first in every part of our lives, and committed ourselves to following His teachings until the end? http://www.onestone.com/portraits-of-discipleship.html Author Heath Rogers
