True discipleship is not easy. Often a person''s response to tough times and hard teachings reveals their motives in following Christ. Christian history is littered with those who could not, or would not, stay true to the end. Yet, instead of casting judgment on them we should take a long, hard look at ourselves in the mirror and recognize the grace of God that stares back at us. It is only by God''s strength that we are able to stand firm to the end. But stand firm we must, for God''s glory and for the good of our world.While we become Christians by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, following Jesus each and every day can be hard. That''s why Jesus said we must first count the cost before we begin our pilgrimage with him. The six lessons of this in-depth Bible study will guide you through some of the key teachings of Jesus that highlight what it means to follow him.This Bible study is ideal for personal use as well as small groups and larger Bible studies.
