This is an excerpt from “The Bible in a Year: A 52-Week Journey Through God’s Word,” written by the Spiral Bible team.

Discipleship is the lifelong journey of following Jesus and being transformed into His likeness. It requires intentional commitment to growth and the willingness to learn from and invest in others.  When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He didn’t call us to make converts but disciples—followers who would learn His ways and reproduce His life in others. This commission remains our primary mandate, challenging us to move beyond surface-level Christianity to deep, transformative faith… Discipleship isn’t a program we complete but a daily choice to follow Jesus regardless of the cost.

Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. [Matthew 28:19-20]
