A @Christadelphians Video: Description: By examining the Gospel of John we can learn how to become a disciple of Jesus. We need to follow his commandments beginning with baptism into his saving name, showing love to one another just as God loved us and gave us His Son to save us from our sins. We need to glorify God in our words and actions if we want to be accepted when Jesus returns to set up the Kingdom of God on the Earth. # Summary Being a disciple of Jesus means actively following His teachings, demonstrating love, and bearing fruit through good works. # Highlights - 📖 Discipleship involves following Jesus' teachings and commands. - ❤️ Love for one another is a hallmark of true discipleship. - 🌱 Bearing good fruit reflects a genuine relationship with God. - ✝️ A disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross. - 🙏 Prayer and a desire for God's will are essential for disciples. - 🔍 True belief requires action and commitment, not just acknowledgment. - 🌍 Discipleship leads to a transformative life aligned with God's purpose. # Key Insights - 📚 **Active Following**: Discipleship is not passive; it requires engaging with Jesus' teachings and embodying His message in daily life.

This connection is crucial for spiritual nourishment and guidance. - ⚖️ **Faith in Action**: Genuine belief must be accompanied by actions that reflect that faith.
