Rediscovering the Radical Call of Christian Discipleship
Discipleship is more than attending church or agreeing with biblical truths, it is a radical call to follow Jesus in every area of life. In a world where Christianity can easily become cultural or comfortable, believers are invited to embrace the deeper reality of obedience. True spiritual formation happens when faith is lived out through action.
In Learning to Obey: The 100 Commands of Christ, Frank Gray identifies one hundred distinct instructions Jesus gave His followers. These commands are not optional guidelines but essential principles for Christian living. They cover practical aspects of daily life such as forgiving offenses, sharing the gospel, serving others, and pursuing holiness. Each command draws believers closer to Christ and reflects His love to the world.
Obeying Jesus does not mean striving in human strength. Instead, it is living in the power of the Holy Spirit who enables believers to walk in righteousness. Obedience is an act of trust, a declaration that God’s way is better than our own.
The church today needs a renewed vision of Christian discipleship, one marked by faith, obedience, and transformation. By rediscovering the commands of Christ, we align ourselves with the mission of God and prepare the way for spiritual revival.
