Keeping Discipleship on Track with the three ‘C’s’
In layman’s terms, here are some of the major principles you have been learning: 1) Christ has saved us to serve, to be a blessing to others in the body of Christ. 2) Through discipleship our spiritual growth has a much better prospect of staying on track and on schedule. 3) It is vital to be discipled in the gospel of Christ; for the gospel gives us the power, desire, and ability to obey our Savior. 4)Through discipleship one’s giftedness can be identified, developed, and unleashed.
- Mutual edification (building up one another so as to build with Christ) can be, and often is informal, rather than formal. But, this mutual edification is always deliberate, and intentional as opposed to coincidental (this is why we must determine that our speech move from mundane to focused upon edification). 6) No one being discipled ought to regard themselves to be an ‘end user’ of what they are receiving.
God’s truth is a sacred trust which we must pass on to others by instruction, example, and life-on-life soul care. Discipleship is about multiplication. God's truth is a sacred trust which we must pass on to others by instruction, example, and life-on-life soul care. Discipleship is about multiplication. And, the way that we 'convert' believers into disciple-makers who multiply is by the three "C's" -- Conviction, Character, Competency. These 3 C's represent a pathway to maturity and spiritual reproduction.
Be sure to carefully re-read what is required in this paper below. This assignment is a kind of summary of what you have learned in this course. Take your time in developing your writing. A preliminary outline is recommended as you prepare your paper. You ought to consider using commentaries as well in order to research the passages below. Take your disciple through Ephesians 4:1-3; Ephesians 4:29; Romans 15:1-2; and 2 Corinthians
5:17-21.
- Discuss with your disciple how to begin viewing his or her calling to be God's ambassador, or as our text says, God's instrument (for blessing others).
- Ask your disciple to name two people that God has placed in his or her life that your disciple can begin edifying by regular encouragement from Scripture.
- Explain to your disciple how to escape the "casual" trap or mundane mode of conversation so that conversation moves to intentional edification.
Here is a biblical pathway to help your disciple piece together and apply these principles of discipleship: 1) Christ has saved us to serve, to be a blessing to others in the body of Christ.
- Through discipleship our spiritual growth has a much better prospect of staying on track and on schedule. 3) It is vital to be discipled in the gospel of Christ; for the gospel gives us the power, desire and ability (resources) to obey our Savior. 4)Through discipleship one's giftedness can be identified, developed, and unleashed. 5) Mutual edification (building up one another is building with Christ) is often informal, rather than formal. But, this mutual edification is always deliberate, and intentional as opposed to coincidental (this is why we must determine that our speech move from mundane to focused edification). 6) No one being discipled ought to regard themselves to be an end user of what they are receiving.
