"The Result of Following" - Mike Ashcraft | Disciple, Part 4
God designed us to reflect His image through love. Many of us understand being a Christian without grasping what it means to truly follow Jesus. Instead of using Him to validate our agendas, we're called to be disciples—friends of Jesus who are empowered to love others. When we realize that God's very essence is love, we understand that loving others isn't just a nice behavior but our deepest purpose. This love gives freely, values others deeply, and always looks outward. And it starts with a simple truth: we love because He first loved us. His love flows through us, changing how we see the world and everyone in it.
