necessary skills to be a professional no matter what subject we may be talking about. Discipleship is no different. There are general stages of progression that we all must follow. Ultimately, the Bible provides the resources one needs to develop a Christian lifestyle. Therefore, any stages or path identified must reflect the principles given in the Word of God.

make the one perfect and acceptable sacrifice to God. Jesus’ obedient sacrifice of his life to God the Father was able not only to redeem humanity, but it also gives perfect glory to the Father.

To Christians, the church is the Bride of Christ. Revelation 19:7b says, “For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready” (NIV).
