Discipleship By Wriiten By Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Among the ideas, is the main theme: how people should relate to other people and God. The sermon is preached at a mountain when Jesus Christ saw the crowd and his disciples' were following him, he sat at the level ground on the mountain and started to preach. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" Jesus Christ first commands his disciples to stop worrying about their lives or their bodies. On a practical level, this concern is shown by the scramble for food and clothing. The disciple is assumed to have chosen slavery to God, and so his clothing and food become Gods problem. Just as God feeds the birds, will he not much more care for the faithful disciple. One importance is controlled by the principle that you cannot be a slave to both God and money. One challenge for us is to determine the logic that justifies the path were all on. Jesus Christ calls us to humbly follow him and trust in the care of the Father. If we

The church itself, which participates sacramentaly in making individuals into Christians, realizes its own being as church in the Eucharist.”

In the conclusion of the Gospel of Matthew, the remaining 11 disciples are summoned to meet with their resurrected teacher in Galilee. It is here where Christ charges them to “make disciples (Μαθητεύσατε),” of all the nations in what is now known as The Great Commission. This act of making disciples would require 3 things that are indicated by the subordinate verbs, “going, baptizing, and teaching.” For the purposes of this paper, this will be an investigation into what kind of teaching Christ was referring to, and what might that teaching look like for the disciples.

He says that “the first pages of this book were written more than ten years ago when [he] had to give [his] first lecture in the winter term at the University of Münster. Since then [he] had given that course in Jesus Christ and his life’s work a number of times: first in Münster, the in Tubingen, and finally (in 1974) at the Gregorian University in Rome. [He] revised it thoroughly on each occasion, so that in each instance the new hardly resembled the old

The author did well in the next section titled Reflections Regarding Their Condition, which covers chapter one, verses five through ten. The outline provides good thoughts for study concerning closer examination of how they received the gospel, “not only in word, but in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much

Today, Christians around the globe try to figure out how they can become good, obedient Christians. Some look to the Ten Commandments received at the top of Mount Sinai. Others, try to model their lives around the teachings and parables Jesus spoke to his followers. Yet few Christians, realize that the Didache, also known as the Teaching of the Twelve Disciples, gives the reader an idea on how to be a good person just like the Ten Commandments and Jesus. The Two Ways of the Didache advise people on how to live their lives to become better Christians.

The Christian life in modern times is often referred to in the bible as tool of reflection and action. Sometimes the descriptions can be vague and left for the imagination of the believer. Long-time scholars have used the ideas of the bible to interpret what the scriptures truly mean. In the book of Romans Paul writes instructions to the church. This is surrounded around man’s sinful nature, with the ability to get back in Gods good graces. This research paper should serve as the research that sheds light on sanctification through a Christians life using salvation.

When examining a certain theological doctrine, theologians go through several steps of the theological method. These steps include, philosophical presuppositions, biblical evaluation, historical development, theological formulation, and practical application. Theologians can use this method to study the doctrine of sanctification. Throughout life, the Holy Spirit works in believers and conforms them to the perfect image of God. Sanctification is where they grow and learn to become more like Jesus. Sanctification will be complete at the return of Jesus. Until that day, Christians are to follow on Jesus’ path and become more like him. The purpose of this essay is to use the theological method to examine the doctrine of sanctification according to its biblical and historical foundation. Sanctification is the progressive work of God in a believer’s life where one is holy through Jesus and not through their own works.

Later, over forty Jesus’s disciples worked of the Bible and accounted God’s action in the world. This—The Bible—is what guiding two point two Christian all around the world in today’s world.

Discipleship is the study of theology, having a religion, and being a follower of Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had many themes and studies pertaining to discipleship. Throughout his book Bonhoeffer shared his views and the way he sees discipleship. I learned about Bonhoeffer’s writings on the call to discipleship, discipleship and the cross, discipleship and the individual, and the church of Jesus Christ and discipleship. By learning discipleship through Bonhoeffer it allowed for me to broaden the way I view theology and the following of Christ. The themes in this book allow for one to grow in their theological outlook.

In the gospel of Mark the author not only recounts the actions of Jesus, but also how he relates to two particular groups, his followers and his adversaries. In this paper we will look at how he chose his disciples, what qualities were required for discipleship, how he taught the disciples, and how they measured up to his expectations.

followers. It is likewise said that his pupils guaranteed Jesus that they would go to the

The purpose of a church is to maintain order of the religion and clarify their doctrines and teachings. This holds true for all churches from the Second Adventists, to the Church of the Green Cross, to the Lutherans, to the Catholic Church. The aim of this paper is to show that God founded a church and to mark the path to help us find the true one.

Clearly, an important aspect of discipleship is the rejection of materialism, but rigorous discipleship and its radical idea of “holy poverty” is an outdated and unnecessary path for most of today’s practicing Christians. Though an admirable path followed by respectable individuals such as Mother Teresa and Dorothy Day, the extreme lifestyle of rigorous discipleship makes it unrealistic for the majority of Christians. It calls for the follower to live a life free of possessions, to satisfy only the most basic of needs, and to give

The following presentation is given to the parents of Sunday school program in the Parish of St. Patrick’s in Kingston, Jamaica. Just like every organization has its rules and regulations to run and maintain order and clarity, the Church has its rules and regulations for the salvation of the souls. There are 1752 canons in the church and over the course of the centuries there has been addition and removal of the canons so that the salvation of souls could be attained. These canons cover every aspect of the church’s ministry, from the Supreme Pontiff to the Christian faithful. Today we will concentrate on one particular canon which clearly lays out the duties and obligations of the Christian Faithful.
