r12: A proven pathway to become like Jesus

r12 — true spirituality: Week #7, May 23–29

Conclusion and Application

Your truly spiritual r12 journey is about to produce spiritual fruit. This final meeting will enable you to see what it will take for you to become like Jesus.

Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a personal relationship with him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning his love through performance. As you've already discovered in this all-church r12 study, a real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like his life.

This week's review of Romans 12 will illustrate "the profile of an authentic Christ disciple." Sharing with your friends during this personal application meeting, try to commit yourself to begin living out this kind of lifestyle that we'll call "r12 Christian." God is willing to go deeper. He's willing to help you become like Jesus. Are you ready to make that commitment? God wants you to make that commitment today.

Final week's focus; your act of commitment
