The Bible Teaches Doctrine (part 10):
Man Pursues Through Discipleship
“True discipleship is both costly and full of grace. It is costly
because it calls us to follow. It is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus. It is costly because it costs
us our whole life, it is grace because it gives us the only true
life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and it is grace
because it justifies the sinner. Above all it is costly because it
cost God the life of His son. What costs God much, we must never
make cheap! Above all it is grace because God was willing to give up
his Son for us.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were
fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately
they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the
son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets,

and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father
and followed him.

“They did not consider his claims, make up their minds, and then decide whether to follow—they simply heard and obeyed. Their response is a testimony to the

follow.”Os Guinness
