Marks of a True Disciple

What is the mark of a true disciple? In this deep dive into John chapter 8, we explore Jesus's challenging words to those who had believed in him: "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples" (John 8:31). This sermon emphasizes the "big idea": True disciples love, live, and remain in the Word. We look at how salvation is by grace through faith alone, but this saving faith is validated and proven out by a life where the Word of God is resident—a communion that follows union with Christ .

Scripture References: Galatians 5:1, 1 John 4:20, John 8:31-47
