What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?
Ultimately, to become disciples of Christ, we are required to give of all we have and all we are to serving Him and keeping His commandments.
- have and show others mercy
- build a relationship with Christ through prayer and scriptures
- seek the Kingdom of God above all things
- look outward toward others and not inward to yourself
- trust that God will watch over and protect you
- serve others
- repent of all things and strive to be more like Him
I feel like service to others and not thinking about yourself but always looking for that person in need is one of the most important aspect of becoming a disciple of Christ. We were not sent down here to earth in isolation, but with others; to help lift and strengthen one another. During General Conference April 2011, Pres. Eyring gave a talk (Opportunities to Do Good) about how we can go about searching for opportunities to do good to those around us. He encouraged each of us to pray daily to find someone that we can serve. This sacrifice allows us to grow and develop faith enough to become more like Christ in our actions and thoughts and be disciples of Him.
"He who only serves himself withers and dies. He who serves others blossoms and grows." -Gordon B. Hinckley
