In yesterday's message about discipleship I said that all that's needed for building a life of discipleship is provided by Jesus. He has given us the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) for our courage and power, the Scriptures for our construction and blueprints (2Timothy 3:15,16), and the Saints for our companionship and help (Galatians 6:3-10).
All of what Jesus provides for our building and battle is of no use however if we are not filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 4:18), reading and doing the Bible daily (Joshua 1:8,9), and attending the fellowship of the believers (Hebrews 10:25). It's like going to a gas station, not filling up, and then wondering why we run out of gas!
Awesome, isn't it, that Jesus referred to us as His personal, present, possessive disciples!!
