Teaching the basic steps of the Christian life is one of the most important responsibilities of the local church. Effective discipleship helps new believers grow in their faith and build a strong foundation in Christ through practical Bible study.
The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 is centered on making disciples: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you…”
How to Teach the Basic Steps of the Christian Life
The goal of discipleship is not just for new believers to know what God commands, but to obey His Word. For that reason, discipleship material for new believers should focus on practical Christian living, not simply theology or a particular doctrinal perspective.
