Discipleship
‘Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.”
~Elder Dallin H. Oaks
Disciple of Christ
Abiding in Christ is choosing only the disposition of Christ, so that His interests are identified with yours. Abide in Him, to be and to do only what He wills. These are the conditions of discipleship, and unless they are complied with, you can never find rest. Rest is in Christ; it cannot be as something apart from Him
(Selected Messages, book 1, 110).
Stand out!
We need to live in close fellowship with God, that we may love one another as Christ has loved us. It is by this that the world is to know that we are His disciples
(Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, 218, 219).
So the Christian strikes root deep into Christ. He has faith in his Redeemer. He knows in whom he believes. He is fully persuaded that Jesus is the Son of God and the Saviour of sinners. . . . The roots of faith strike deep down. Genuine Christians, like the cedar of Lebanon, do not grow in the soft surface soil, but are rooted in God, riveted in the clefts of the mountain rocks
(Our High Calling, 331).
