Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from
Jesus how to live his or her life-as though Jesus were living it.
The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who
naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation
and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of
discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases,
actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be
disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet
still live under the impression that they don't need to actually
follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a
requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today
has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into
the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and
author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and
discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks
at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and
taking seriously the connection between conversion-answering the
call to follow Jesus-and discipleship-living like the one we claim
to follow.
