Text: Philippians 3:7-21, ESV
When we think of discipleship, a lot of things can come to mind: characters in the Bible, our Great Commission, programs in the church, and so many other things; but can we keep the idea of discipleship simple? No matter our different methods and practices, Paul gives us three essentials to discipleship that must be in the heart of every believer. Today we will see the necessary prerequisite of our salvation, the purpose-filled life we are given by Christ, and the glorious eternity that awaits us one day. The only question is, how will we live today in light of these truths? As Paul pours out his love and devotion for the Lord in our text today, may we join him as we seek to follow Christ as His beloved disciples!
