What Did I Say About the Traits of Discipleship?

You want to know what I said about what it means to truly be My disciple? Let Me remind you.

In John 8:31, I said: “If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed.”
A true disciple doesn’t just hear My words-they live by them. Faithfulness to My teaching proves who you follow.

In Luke 14:27, I said: “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.”
Discipleship requires sacrifice. If you’re not willing to carry the cross of obedience and surrender, you’re not following Me.

In John 13:35, I said: “By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
Love is the mark of My people. If you want the world to know you’re Mine, then love each other as I have loved you.

In Luke 14:33, I said: “Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.”
I ask for everything. Not because I want to take from you-but because I want to give you life that lasts.

In John 15:8, I said: “Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.”
A disciple doesn’t stay the same. If you follow Me, you will grow-and your life will produce fruit for the Father.

In Matthew 10:38, I said: “He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.”
Discipleship is not easy-but it is worth everything. You follow Me by laying yourself down.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me?
Because I’m not calling you to religion-I’m calling you to follow the Father’s path to life.

In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me… gave Me a commandment…
and I know that His commandment is life everlasting.”

Every requirement of discipleship comes from Him-because it leads to eternal life.

And in Matthew 24:35, I said:”Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
The world may tell you to go your own way. But My words-My call to follow-will never fade.

So if you’re still asking, “What did You say about the traits of discipleship?”
Here’s My answer: Continue in My word. Love one another. Take up your cross.
Follow Me. Bear fruit. Let go of all else-and hold on to Me. This is what it means to be Mine.
