We’ve all heard of the 12 Biblical disciples (apostles) of Jesus. We all know that they were all humans just as we are. What we don’t always know is how to be a disciple God would approve of. In this mini-book I will discuss not only what a disciple is, but how we, as followers of Christ, can become better disciples for Him. In Part One, I will discuss the definition of a disciple. What it is to be one, and how being a disciple of Christ is far more demanding than being a disciple of anyone or anything else. In Part Two, I will discuss forgiveness. Not only how it applies to being a disciple, but also how it’s required of us to be forgiving. In Part Three, I will discuss what I call “spiritual cleansing.” The cleansing that is needed for what I describe in the Fourth Part, which is spiritual growth. Pretty simple to know what I’m talking about, but doing it is a whole different thing. In Part Five, I will explain how hope is not only necessary, but required by God to be a good disciple. In Part Six, I will talk about how trust is one of the most important overlooked qualities we need to have for God to be the way He wants us. And finally, in Part Seven, I will talk about the one thing we all lack: patience. Of course to be a good disciple, it takes a whole lot more than just reading a book, it demands studying God’s Word with diligence, helping others where God calls us to, and most importantly: LIVING OUR LIVES THE WAY HE COMMANDS!
