Description
Discipleship is a great read for those who have grappled with questions like: What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Is being a disciple of Jesus the same thing as being a Christian? What does a life of discipleship look like? Dr. Picirilli provides practical answers and applications for the reader through an exhaustive study of what the New Testament writers said about the requirements for salvation. He offers sound, comprehensive exegesis demonstrating that repentance, obedience,and discipleship are biblical expressions of saving faith. Dr. Picirilli shares important implications of how we should present the gospel, offer assurance of salvation, and incorporate proper church discipline. The author compares the Transaction Model of justification by faith as presented in the writings of Paul with the Discipleship Model of following Jesus in the Synoptic gospels.
