One heart and of one soul…

One heart and one soul…

Disciple of Christ means Christian:

To be save, one must be a Christian. Actually Christians are Disciples of Christ. So, to be saved must become a Disciple of Christ.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.  Acts 11:26 (KJV)

The five basic things:

To become a Disciple of Christ (being saved) I need to do five basic things:

1. Love Jesus more than any other things.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Matt 10:37 (KJV)

2. Take my Cross. It means that to become a Christian, I have duties and burdens to do and I must ready to do them.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Matt 10:38 (KJV)

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Luke 9:23 (KJV)

3. Hate Sins

Behold, the Lord'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Isaiah 59:1-2 (KJV)

4. Make Disciples

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt 28:16-20 (KJV)

5. Love one another

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John 13:34-35 (KJV)

Not me alone:

The very best things are I don’t do them all alone. Jesus provides His Disciples a community. The community is called Church. We always gather in a place and in that place I have brothers and sisters that also do the same thing above (poin 1-5) with me. We are one heart, one soul and one purpose, we are Disciples of Christ.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Acts 4:32-33 (KJV)

Acts 5-8
