How does Reformed theology explain discipleship?

In Reformed theology, discipleship is fundamentally about passing on divine truth. It involves teaching believers to observe all that Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). Discipleship is not merely mentoring but is rooted in the understanding and application of Scripture. According to the Great Commission, individuals progress through stages of understanding, belief, conviction, and ultimately love for the truth. This truth shapes their lives and decisions. Discipleship can happen through various methods—personal interaction, group studies, or media which emphasizes clarity on the Word of God. The church should facilitate environments where members can learn from one another and grow together in their knowledge of Christ.
