5 things a disciple of Christ does


I have had this devotion for years, but recently sent it to a friend, and thought I would post it, as well.  


Of course, there are many more things a disciple of Jesus Christ does, but these are for me fundamental and I share them with those the Spirit allows me to on the street.  Not listed, but placed above all else, is of course to  "'...love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment." (Mark 12:30, NKJV)

5 things a Christian disciple does

1) reads and studies the Word daily
2 Pet 3:18
2 Tim 2:15
Joshua 1:8
Acts 17:11
     Psalm 119:9-16
Phil 4:8-9
     2 Tim 3:16-17

2) prays constantly
    1 Thes 5:17, "Pray without ceasing."

3) works toward the Great Commission
    Matt 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."  

4) stays in fellowship with Christians
    Heb 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

5) shows love and concern for others with exhortation and accountability
    2 Cor 9:5 "Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness."
    2Ti 4:1-5 v5- "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."
