On December 11,
2012, I added a post to my blog titled ‘New Testament Model of Discipleship’
from the book ‘Choose the Life’ by Bill Hull. That post referenced the five dimensions of Discipleship. The piece that appears
below describes the first of the five dimensions.
*************
Believing What He Believed (Transformed Mind)
To believe what Jesus believed means
we hold a conviction that the life he described in the Sermon on the Mount is
possible right now. In fact, Jesus said we can equal and exceed the works that
he did (Matt 5–7; John 14:12-14). This requires a commitment to set aside time
to study, pray and meditate in order to hear the voice of God and to take on
the mind of Christ. If that commitment is not present, we are practicing a
Christ-less Christianity. After all, how can you follow and learn from someone
whose voice you can’t recognize.
