Discipleship Rooted in God’s Word

📖 Introduction

Discipleship is at the heart of the Christian life—following Jesus, learning from Him, and becoming more like Him daily. But how exactly does a disciple grow, persevere, and mature? The answer lies largely in God’s Word. The Bible is not just an ancient text but the living, active tool God uses to shape, correct, and equip those who follow Him.

In this 7-day study, we will delve deeply into the role of Scripture in discipleship. You'll discover that the Bible is essential not only for gaining knowledge about God but also for transformation—renewing the mind, convicting the conscience, and guiding the steps of a disciple. Whether you are new to following Jesus or have walked with Him for years, God’s Word remains foundational, offering wisdom, encouragement, and correction.

Why Scripture? Because Jesus Himself modeled discipleship through Scripture, teaching from it, quoting it, and relying on it during temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). The earliest disciples treasured the Scriptures as the source of truth and authority. Paul reminds Timothy that Scripture is “God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16), showing us that God’s Word equips all believers to live faithfully and grow spiritually.

Over the next week, you’ll encounter key passages revealing how Scripture shapes your heart’s posture, challenges wrong thinking, comforts in trials, and builds you for service. Each day includes reflection and prayer to help you internalize what you learn and apply it in practical ways. May this study deepen your appreciation of God’s Word and renew your commitment to be a disciple who not only hears the Word but obeys it fully.
