How Does God Want to Use Your Life?

Matthew 28:18-20:

Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

What is Discipleship?

Discipleship is the process where a person:

(1) Receives eternal life - they enter into a permanent relationship with Jesus (God) that lasts for eternity. This is a one-time event.

Then the life-long process begins where they are trained by God's Word, God's Spirit, and God's People to learn:

(2) How to grow their relationship with God.
(3) How to understand & apply the Bible.
(4) How to reach people who need Jesus.
(5) How to teach others steps 1-5.

As this process is repeated in the lives of others, discipleship and spiritual multiplication take place - the heart of Matthew 28:18-20.

Discipleship is a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, not a program.

"The fundamental reason you and your church exist is to make disciples of Jesus.”

What are Bible Impact Groups?

Bible Impact Groups are strategically designed to remove nearly every barrier to personal discipleship.

Not only are these groups easy to replicate, but they're also:

Simple
Biblical
Life-Changing

Groups focus on 3 simple steps...

Step 1: Start spiritual conversations with people.

As Christians, it's our responsibility to start spiritual conversations with people who don't know Jesus. This becomes very easy when we apply some simple tips:

Spiritual Conversation Starters

Step 2: Explain how to get right with God - forever.

This involves establishing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (who is God).

This one-time event is known as justification - you're declared not guilty by God.

You instantly become a new creation (you're born again ... spiritually).

God also guarantees that you'll go to heaven when you die.

Past, present & future actions (good or bad) do not affect your salvation.

Salvation is a free gift to you based 100% on God's love, grace, and mercy.

An individual must personally receive God's free gift of eternal life.

Jesus proved: (1) He is God, and (2) He is the only way to heaven.

How to Know God

- God says there's only one way to Heaven.
- Discover the truth.
- It's a matter of life or death.

Note: After a person trusts Jesus for salvation, invite them to Step 3 below.

**Step 3: Teach people how to follow Jesus.**

Once God saves you, He wants to lead your life, making you more like Jesus.

God's Spirit will provide you with the power to live as a Christian.

God also wants to use you to reach other people who need Jesus.

Bible Impact Groups help channel your focus in 3 specific areas:

(1) Love God - trust Him daily.
(2) Love others - sacrificially.
(3) Make disciples of Jesus - spiritual multiplication.

Getting started is easy:

- Print several copies of the Bible Impact Groups tool.
- Invite 1-2 other Christians to join you.
- Watch God change lives (including yours).
- As you reach people with the Gospel, your group will naturally reproduce.
