1 Peter 2:21-25

Becoming more and more like Christ in our actions is what our passion as Christians is in this world. Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God's holiness and our sinfulness.

If we say that we are Christ's disciples or followers and since imitating Him is what proves we are true "learners" of Him, then what will our lives look like? Holiness is the primary thing in Christ that we imitate.

What does it mean to "walk in the same manner as Jesus did"? A true believer is to maintain a sobering perspective about his walk with Christ the rest of his life.

There are appropriate approaches to evangelism -- not necessarily technique, but emphasizing different aspects of the gospel depending on the person. The goal is to please God by pointing sinners to Christ.

Making disciples has to do with evangelism -- seeking to win people to Christ. There are several important features of evangelism, including the means and the content.

Discipleship -- the gospel -- is not as much an invitation as it is a command -- a call. This involves repentance and submission.
