我们有时会错误地认为基督信仰只在乎死后上天堂，大使命只是为了让人归信基督。虽然永恒的天堂是救恩的一部分，但救恩也对我们现在的生活有着深远的意义。耶稣呼召我们去使万民做他的门徒，而不仅仅是带人归信基督。分享关于永恒救恩的好消息是成为门徒的第一步，但造就门徒还包括“凡耶稣所吩咐的, 都教导他们遵守 ”（马太福音28:20）。造就门徒包括教导人们遵守耶稣所吩咐的一切，这其中包括行道、与天父亲密相交，并使他们自己最终成为一名门徒造就者。重要的是，人们要效法耶稣并跟随他——成为他的门徒，因为真正的生命是在他里面。本手册提供了一个循序渐进的灵命成长过程，旨在帮助人们成为耶稣基督的门徒。
We can sometimes make the mistake of thinking that Christianity is only about going to heaven when we die and that the Great Commission is only about converting people to Christianity. Eternity in heaven is part of salvation, but salvation has implications for our lives now. Jesus called us to make disciples, not just converts. Sharing the good news of eternal salvation is the first part of becoming a disciple, but making disciples also includes “teaching [people] to observe all that [Jesus] commanded” (Matthew 28:20). Making disciples includes teaching others ALL that Jesus commanded including being a doer of the Word, fellowshipping with their Heavenly Father, and eventually becoming a Disciple Maker themselves. It is important that people learn from Jesus and follow Him—become His disciples—because true life is found in Him. This manual provides a step-by-step process for spiritual growth that leads to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ.
