Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4 KJV
Discipleship is a biblical concept meaning to follow Yeshua (Jesus), becoming more like Him, and helping others do the same. It involves a lifelong journey of spiritual growth, learning from Yeshua's teachings, committing to live a life devoted to Him, and intentionally sharing this lifestyle with others through personal relationships and spiritual disciplines like prayer and studying His Word.
You too, my friend, are called to follow Him. In fact, we are all called to follow Him. Though the enemy lies and tells us we are not good enough, we are because of what He did for you and me on that cross so long ago. He gave His life for you, so you can live for Him.
Reaching the lost for Messiah (Christ) involves fulfilling Yeshua's command to make disciples by actively sharing the Gospel and pointing others to salvation, a process that requires stepping out of one's comfort zone, cultivating a heart of compassion, building relationships, and praying for those who are separated from Yahweh (God). Key principles include emulating Yeshua's example of actively seeking those who are lost, finding common ground for spiritual conversations, presenting Yahweh's plan for salvation, and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit.
The biblical plan of salvation centers on Yahweh's gift of salvation through Yeshua the Messiah's sacrifice, which atones for humanity's sins, allowing for forgiveness and eternal life through faith. This plan requires individuals to: recognize their sinfulness, believe in Yeshua as Lord and Savior, repent of their sins, confess their faith, and be baptized. Through this sincere process, believers receive forgiveness and the opportunity for a new, eternal life with Yaweh, our Heavenly Father.
