men'” (Matthew 4:19, NIV).

shaped and molded by Him to do the kind of work
that He does.
The what: the motivation of a disciple

therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for
themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again” (2 Corinthians 5:14, 15,
NIV).

God to follow Him and to be like Him.

motivation is my motivation.

live for my own purposes, but for His?
• Am I willing to live for Christ and others instead of simply living for myself?

3. Destination:
• What is my destination?
• Where will people end up if they follow where I am leading right now?

• Is His deep desire and passion for reconciliation visible in my presentation of His
appeal?

becomes a Christian he
becomes a brand new person
