The Five Characteristics of a Mature Disciple

A mature disciple has five characteristics. We can think of these characteristics as sub-goals or many outcomes that we're wanting to achieve. Mature disciples are people who gladly give themselves to serving others whether formally or informally. This service pervades all of life particularly the household of believers. A mature disciple is not a lone ranger. Christ's big purpose is to gather a people around himself, a fellowship, community and this of course is expressed in the local church gathering.
