“Discipleship then is a journey that is taken with Jesus, a journey in which one suffers before arriving in glory.” (Page 222)
“The word ‘disciple’ is not used outside of the Gospels, except in Acts where it is a technical term referring to all believers.12 Yet the goal of the Christian life is to become like Christ,13 just as this was stressed in the Gospels (Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 15:49; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:13–15; Col. 3:9–10; 1 John 3:2).” (Page 223)
“Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ. During the time of Christ this was accomplished by literally following Him and hearing what He taught and watching what He did. After Jesus’ ascension the process of becoming like Christ involved studying what He said and did and imitating His example. It also involved seeing Christlikeness lived out in mature believers and becoming more Christlike through imitating them. Discipleship/imitation seems to take place on a large scale (all the followers of Christ or all believers in a particular church) and at the same time it takes place on a more focused scale with a select few (e.g., the Twelve, Timothy, Titus, and others).” (Pages 225–226)
“ John’s point is that while God is the Creator,13 the λόγος was His agent (‘through Him’).14” (Page 190)
“does,’ 1 Cor. 4:16; 11:1; Eph. 5:1; 1 Thess. 1:6; 2:14; Heb. 6:12)” (Page 223)
