What is the purpose of Christian
discipleship?
- The main purpose of
Christian discipleship is to be like Christ. Christian
discipleship might best be described as a training or
mentoring program designed to develop individuals to become
more like their Savior. When Christ became man and lived
on earth, he endured all of the same trials, pains, and
persecutions that man suffers in order to prove himself as a
perfect example for us. Therefore, one of the primary
purposes of Christian discipleship is to emulate the
character of Christ.1 Peter 2:21 says, "To this you were
called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an
example, that you should follow in his steps."
