What Is A Disciple? 2:35http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1y5HC8EJzM

Discipleship is the process by which disciples grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and are equipped by the Holy Spirit, who resides in our hearts, to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life and become more and more Christ-like.

This process requires believers to respond to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to examine their thoughts, words and actions and compare them with the Word of God.

We should always be ready to give testimony of the reason for the hope that is within us and to disciple others to walk in His way.
