FRUIT CHANGE IS THE RESULT OF ROOT CHANGE

It begins here "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Math 28;19.  MAKING DISCIPLES. I can only make disciples if i am a disciple myself. How do i become a disciple?  A disciple in the New Testament is simply a Christian.  Acts 11:26 . The day i decided to follow Jesus i became a disciple.  As disciples, we are called to imitate Jesus’ love (Jn. 13:34), his mission (Mt. 4:19), his humility (Phil. 2:5), his service (Jn. 13:14), his suffering (1 Pt. 2:21) and his obedience to the Father (1 Jn. 2:3-6). Since he is our teacher, we are to learn from him and strive in the power of the Holy Spirit to become like him ( Lk . 6:40). This growth in Christ-likeness is a lifelong endeavor
