Forty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He left this temporal existence to return to where His Father our Creator can be found. As He left, He gave us what has been called the “Great Commission.”

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV – And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.”

I am making these special posts to do just that. Teach people that are willing to hear the Truth to become True Disciples of God through Jesus Christ.

Most that now profess to being “Christian” truly are not. Many may never have been, and those that were truly saved have turned away from God because they do not wish to become a disciple.

Jesus made it clear what is required to become a true disciple.

Luke 14:25-35 NKJV – Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Most that now profess to being “Christian” have not counted the cost. They have built a foundation and then run out of spiritual money to build the tower of discipleship. They have become salt without flavor. Good only to be thrown out into the trash to be burned. Burned in the lake of fire for billions upon billions upon billions of years.

Jesus made the cost very clear:

Luke 14:33 NKJV – So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

This is reenforced here:

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

“And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

This is the core of discipleship. It is from here that is the beginning of truly being called “Christian.” For it is made clear that nothing of this world is from God and so is evil.

1 John 2:15-17 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

Jesus Christ Himself taught this lesson on the Sermon on the Mount:

Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Because most refuse to downsize their eyes are filled with darkness. To bring light into their eyes they must remove from them earthly mammon.

Mammon is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

This must start immediately if you truly profess to being a follower of Jesus Christ. For as mentioned before it is the core of showing you are a follower of God through Christ and must start right this moment. This is not me saying this. This as shown came from the Word of God itself and is required now. For time is quickly running out.
