Explore the profound difference between being a Christian and a disciple through the lens of scripture. Learn about the narrow gate that leads to true discipleship, the importance of counting the cost, and the necessity of donning the full armor of God to prepare for spiritual warfare. Reflect on the real-life examples of the Apostle Paul’s trials and modern-day challenges to understand the commitment and sacrifices required to follow Christ.
# Summary
The sermon emphasizes the difference between being a Christian and being a disciple. It highlights the need for true followers of Christ to count the cost, make sacrifices, and put on the full armor of God as described in Ephesians 6. The speaker warns that discipleship involves spiritual warfare, perseverance, and a commitment to truth and righteousness, which often leads to being in the minority and facing challenges, but ultimately results in standing victorious in faith.
