Hans Denck Quotes

Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.

My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.

Discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ.

A life contemplating the blessings of Christ becomes a life acting the love of Christ.

Now is the time to Start a Normal Christian Life!

Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don't be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Take steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus.

I think that when you follow Christ, one of the things that happens when you start listening to His voice is that you really are alone.

I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.

Discipleship, following Jesus Christ is the toughest thing that you're going do in your whole life. You're not going to find anything tougher.

To follow Christ is to become more like Him. It is to learn from His character. As spirit children of our Heavenly Father, we do have the potential to incorporate Christlike attributes into our life and character. The Savior invites us to learn His gospel by living His teachings. To follow Him is to apply correct principles and then witness for ourselves the blessings that follow.

If you're bored, one thing is for sure: You're not following in the footsteps of Christ.

Our deepest joy comes from Christ: remaining with him, walking with him, being his disciples.

The idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.

Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.

In the Book of Acts faith was for each believer a beginning, not an end; it was a journey, not a bed in which to lie while waiting for the day of our Lord's triumph. Believing was not a once-done act; it was more than an act, it was an attitude of heart and mind which inspired and enabled the believer to take up his cross and follow the Lamb whithersoever He went.

How wonderful it is to be surprised by God’s call, to embrace his word, and to walk in the footsteps of Jesus... Your life will become richer and more joyful each day!

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.

Only by walking with God can we hope to find the path that leads to life. That is what it means to be a disciple. After all -- aren't we 'followers of Christ'? Then by all means, let's actually follow him. Not ideas about him. Not just his principles. Him.

... you are not Christ's disciple, in the sense of following him, if this is not your way of life: rejected and slain daily!

We have no cause to be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; but the Gospel of Christ may justly be ashamed of us.

Discipleship is the pursuit of holiness and happiness. It is the path to our best and happiest self.
