Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 5: Loving Jesus Supremely
Part of Zac Poonen · 117 of 379
Summary
The speaker argues that true entry into the New Covenant requires discipleship, which is more than just knowing how to escape hell. He emphasizes that discipleship involves prioritizing Christ above all earthly relationships—father, mother, wife, and children. This submission means that if Christ commands something, it must take precedence over the wishes of family members.

Discipleship And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen (15 July 2012)

The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). True discipleship involves more than just accepting Christ; it requires loving Jesus above all else, denying oneself daily, and prioritizing Christ over possessions. Furthermore, disciples must be taught to live by every command of Christ, including loving enemies and practicing radical obedience, rather than just hearing about salvation.
