Christian Commitment
Discipleship is always guided by purpose. Christian discipleship is committed to helping people grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus (2 Peter 3:18). It is the process of becoming more like Jesus (Rom. 8:28,29). What is often overlooked is that Jesus was guided by purpose. To become like Jesus is not simply a character issue, but a life purpose issue. Jesus was living out commitments that had begun with creation.
He was committed to:
The Great Mission: The Call to Stewardship
26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” 27 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Genesis 1:26-28 (NLT) (Gen. 1:22;8:17;9:1,7)

The Great Commandment: The Call to Relationship
36 “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” 37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40
