What does it mean to be a lifelong learner and lover of Jesus Christ?

In this video, Brandon Scroggins describes a disciple as a lifelong learner and lover of Jesus Christ. A disciple is portrayed as someone who has attached their life to a master, experiencing a heart change that leads to a transformation of their entire life. This conversion brings about a fresh desire for the Lordship of Christ, propelling them towards a life that mirrors not the world, but Christ.

This new way of life involves not just learning from Jesus but also loving Him with the entirety of our lives. As disciples, we are inculturated into the life of Christ, learning to take on His ways. This change is not just about knowledge acquisition, it's about embracing Jesus with all that we are and all that we have. It's about a life completely surrendered to Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV): 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'

The simplest way I know how to describe a disciple for just the average church member would be a lifelong learner and lover of Jesus Christ. It's someone that has attached their life to a master. They've been converted, their hearts have been changed. So they now have a new desire, and their desire is the Lordship of Christ. So having a heart change now, that leads to a change in life.

So it's taking on a completely different way of life. Not a way of life that reflects the world, but a way of life that reflects our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. And so we're inculturated into that life, and we're learning from Him to take on His ways. And we're not only just learning, we're loving Him with the entirety of our lives, with everything that we are and everything that we have. Now.
