Reason #6: We have a discipleship problem because, for some reason, we divorce discipleship from worship and evangelism.
Remedy: We must teach people that discipleship is accelerated when we see all of life as worship and worship moves us to evangelism (Romans 12:1-8).
Reason #7: We have a discipleship problem because we wrongly believe the Gospel is just for the unbeliever and not for the believer also.
Remedy: The same Gospel that justifies the sinner also sanctifies and glorifies the saint.
Reason #8: We have a discipleship problem because we think the Gospel is just soteriology only, and not that Jesus is establishing His Kingship.
Remedy: Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and ascension are about Him defeating sin, death and evil and establishing His Kingship over all of creation. And by His grace, He extends His union life to humanity and gives us everything we need to extend our King’s kingdom through the lives of His people, the church.
