The Way of Jesus: Seven Markers

Here is a simple language to describe what following Jesus looks like.

These seven markers characterize a follower of Jesus whether they are just starting out or have been on that journey for a lifetime. None of them stand alone; each are interdependent on the others as the strands of a rope combine to form one strong cord.

I have begun following Jesus, and am depending on the Spirit of Jesus in my journey.

I am being sent by Jesus to bless others and invite them to follow Him.

I am learning the teachings of Jesus.

I am helping someone and someone is helping me to be a reproducing follower of Jesus.

I am participating in a community of followers of Jesus on mission to the world.
