The Devotion of Discipleship – Dr. Charles Stanley – Called to be a Disciple – Part 2

Every Christian is called to live a life of discipleship. In fact, Dr. Stanley calls discipleship, “the mission and the ministry of the church.”

Many people believe, and rightly so, that God is a giving God. He loves to give His children good gifts! At the same time, believers are called to love God with all that we are—our heart, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5). To be a true disciple requires our devotion.

In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that devotion to Jesus demands that our love and loyalty to Him exceed our love and loyalty to all others. Devotion to Jesus means that we are willing to suffer for His sake. Devotion to Jesus means we are willing to follow Him in obedience and sincere faith. Devotion is the cost of being a disciple.
