THE SPIRITUALLY MATURE DISCIPLE
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.
(Matthew 22:37-39)
The spiritually mature disciple demonstrates an increasing love for God and people by:
1. drawing others to Jesus
• seeks to maintain relationships with unchurched/unbelievers with whom they intentionally
and lovingly relate in order to bring them to Jesus and the church
2. participating in community with other Jesus followers
• is regular in worship attendance
• participates regularly in a small group
3. living to serve others
• serves people in the community
• serves people in the church
• serves people in another culture or country
4. knowing and obeying Scripture
• is involved in disciplined, on-going study of the Bible
• can cite a recent change in thoughts, attitudes and behavior as a result of their Bible study
5. expressing a life of generosity
• intentionally looks for opportunities to give time and money to meet the needs of people in
the community
• give sacrificially and systematically to God’s work at the church
• gives cheerfully, expecting nothing in return
