What Three People Are Needed in Your Walk With Christ?

A follower of Christ needs three people in their life, three people who can enable your maturity in the Lord and solidify earnest discipleship to continue throughout your natural life.

Who do you need?

1. A Paul: 
Someone who is an elder in the faith, full of the Holy Spirit, and Godly knowledge and wisdom, to be a mentor to you, to teach you Christ’s commands and how to obediently live the Gospel.  You will never cease needing such person.

2. A Barnabas: 

A Christlike encourager to lift you up and keep you full of joy in the Lord; a true friend who is honest, uplifting, and through favorable means keeping you accountable.

 

 

 

 

 

3. A Timothy: 

Take upon your heart a Timothy, or two or several, to mentor, to speak Christ’s ways into.  Speak life into someone who is newer in the faith than you; show them how to live the gospel. 



This is essential, Christlike, to be someone like your “Paul,” or be someone who is nothing less than a Barnabas.

This is how discipleship occurs. 

 

In life as a follower of Christ you will have those who teach and encourage you.  Find, embrace others to mentor.  You are a Timothy, you are to be a Paul, and be nothing less than a Barnabas.  Now the best part, Jesus said, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" (Matt 18:20).
