Dallas Willard Quotes About Discipleship

Quotes about: Discipleship

• Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

  Dallas Willard

  Jesus, Becoming, Would Be

• If you have a group of people come together around a vision for real discipleship, people who are committed to grow, committed to change, committed to learn, then a spiritual assessment tool can work.

  Dallas Willard

  Spiritual, Real, Assessment

• What you present as the gospel will determine what you present as discipleship. If you present as the gospel what is essentially a theory of the atonement, and you say, If you accept this theory of the atonement, your sins are forgiven, and when you die you will be received into heaven, there is no basis for discipleship.

  Dallas Willard

  Heaven, Sin, Atonement

• Discipleship' as a term has lost its content, and this is one reason why it has been moved aside. I've tried to redeem the idea of discipleship, and I think it can be done; you have to get it out of the contemporary mode.

  Dallas Willard

  Thinking, Ideas, Done

• Dallas Willard warns us too of the "cost of non-discipleship." We may be able to live with some pain, but when our whole self becomes more and more rotten, the cost is far greater than dealing with the problem as soon as possible. This is why I think following Jesus, though challenging, is much easier than following anything else. The world has nothing better to offer me. Jesus has come to right my wrongs and to make me refreshingly new.
