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

The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel and making disciples. True discipleship demands a total commitment to Christ, far beyond mere forgiveness or baptism. Baptism is only meaningful if the individual has first understood and accepted the absolute claims of discipleship—the willingness to die to one's own will. Furthermore, baptism must correctly acknowledge the Triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
