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.

I am here to promote Jesus. There were so many things that the Bible tells about what he has done: Jesus’ first sermon (Matthew 5:1- 7:29),

Jesus Cleansed he leper (Matthew 8:1-4), Jesus healed the sick people (Matthew 8:5-17, 19:1-2), He drove the devils out of the demoniacs (Matthew 8:28-34), He cured paralytic (9:1-8), He gave sight to blind men (Matthew 9:27-38), He healed the epileptic (Matthew 9:14-23),

If I want to tell about what have Jesus done in my life, there would be not enough papers in this world to write. He helped me to deal with my parents, he helped me to deal with my heart, He helped me to live a righteous life, He helped me to be joyful, He saved my finance many times, He cured my father many times, He choose me a good wife, He help me to have daughter and son and so many that I can’t describe.

He also teach me to be humble, he teach me to be patient, he teach me to respect my wife, he teach me to be a right husband and father, he teach me to have purpose in my life. If I want to write them, I think I don’t have enough pens to write them all.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen

What is my purpose? Is my purpose is to make my laundry business advance? Is my purpose to make my wife and my children happy? Is my purpose to make my Parents, brother and sisters happy? Is my purpose to make me wealthy and healthy?

I think those will be my purpose if I don’t become a Disciple of Christ. But now I am a Disciple of Christ. My purpose of life is not those things anymore although I must do those things while I do my purpose.

My purpose is the same as my teacher’s purpose. My purpose is to fulfill the scripture. Jesus already fulfilled some of them but there are other things that his Disciples must fulfill. It is to make other people become Disciples of Christ.

To make other people become Disciples of Christ is not easy. I need to be patient, to have a loving heart, and to trust God to do that. I pray to God to give me passion of that everyday. I wish I can save so many people’s life by making them Disciples of Christ when I still alive.

For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken
