Matthew 4:19 (NIV) - "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

1. Is following Jesus (close to Jesus, being led by Him)
2. Is being changed by Jesus (becoming more like Him)
3. Is on mission with Jesus (making Him known)

A Predetermined Commitment - In order for someone to continually grow in Christlikeness, they must have a commitment to a disciple's lifestyle. These learners were committed to following Jesus wherever He went, listening to His teachings, and obeying His commands no matter what. They not only learned from Him, they served Him. They left everything and committed to a new lifestyle. As they deepened their understanding of Jesus' ways, His expectations, and His love for them, they began to give more of themselves.

A Certain Humility - Jesus did only what the Father directed Him to do. So, every disciple must come into the disciple-making process with humility that opens the door for them to serve Jesus as subjects serve their king. It is only when a disciple embraces this that they can carry out the expectations of Jesus.

An Undeterred Curiosity - All growing disciples are full of questions. Disciples want to know more about Jesus and His ways.

A Willingness to Abide - As a disciple, we understand that our responsibility is to draw our nourishment from Jesus Himself (John 15:4-5). Abiding in Jesus is to have perpetual fellowship with Him. This comes through prayer, study of and memorization of God's Word, living in Christian community with others who are on an authentic journey with Christ, and serving Christ wholeheartedly and sacrificially.
