What Does It Take to “Make” True Followers of Jesus?

What do the following three verses have in common? (Just hover over the verse to read it)

Matthew 4:19

Matthew 23:15

Matthew 28:19

The answer: all three introduce the idea of deliberately making “something” out of “someone.”

“I will make you fishers of men”

“You make him twice as much a child of hell”

“Go and make disciples of all men”

What Does It Take to “Make” True Followers of Jesus?

Matthew 23:13-36

We need to avoid:

1. Teaching a false salvation (13-15)
2. Promoting a false integrity (16-22)
3. Practicing an incomplete faith (23-24)
4. Possessing a false sanctification (25-26)
5. Professing a false righteousness (27-28)
6. Persecuting the true followers (29-36)
