introductions about Who is a disciple!"

It is Gods desire that all believers develop extraordinary, intimate, one-spirit relationshipswith Jesus, especially if they are to become Disciples and fulfill His call on their lives

( !orinthians "#$%& 'his extraordinary one-spirit relationship with Jesus, which Goddesires for all believers, is revealed in the words to now& 'hese two words are often usedby Gods inspired writers in reference to the on-flesh intimacy of marria)e& Jesusused theterm, thou)h, to teach His Disciples that He and they were )oin) to be inseparable andindistin)uishable (*atthew +#-./ Galatians #+%&0

to a perfect man,to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ#

that we henceforth be no more children,tossed to and fro,and carried about with every wind of doctrine,

by the slei)ht of men, and cunnin) craftiness,whereby they lie in wait to deceive/
