True Discipleship (Choice 2, Unit 1)

A true disciple of Christ:

Seeks for truth

Focuses on Heavenly treasures, not earthly treasures

Serves his fellowmen

Strives to keep the commandments

Loves the Savior above all else
 

One of these, in particular, is key to all the others.  When we love the Savior first, the rest of our life falls into its proper place.  It isn’t that lie suddenly becomes easier, but our ability to follow Christ and be changed by Him increases as our love for Him grows.  I find that my love for others, my desire to learn truth, to seek after Heavenly treasures, to serve, and to be obedient also increases.  True disciples of Jesus Christ try to keep their life in harmony with the teachings of the gospel. Discipleship results in good choices which are driven by a deep love and devotion to Jesus Christ. It really requires all that we are able to give of ourselves, and then some.
