About this ebook
Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle looks at how to achieve Jesus Christ's command to his church to make disciples. To accomplish this task, you must focus on three primary areas: exalt the Savior, equip the saints, and evangelize the sinner. These are practical steps to help us effectively make disciples. Being a disciple is God's plan for every Christian. Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle begins with "exalting the Savior through worship." Worship says it's not about me. It's not about my wants or desires. It's not about my ambitions or plans. It's about me giving everything up for God. Worship is submission. Submission to Christ is the foundation of our relationship with him and the core of true worship. Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle continues with "equipping the saints through the Word." The task of equipping is essentially that of getting people ready to live the Christian life and to do ministry in the world. The operative phrase is found in Ephesians 4:12, to "Equip the saints for the work of ministry." The result of being "equipped" is Christlikeness. The final step in discovering the 3EEE lifestyle is "evangelizing the sinner through witnessing." It has been noted that most Christians never share their faith with nonbelievers or have never led anyone to faith in Jesus Christ. A disciple is taught that it is his or her duty to witness for Jesus Christ. Every disciple is commanded to make disciples by witnessing, mark them by baptism, and mature them by teaching them all the things that Jesus Christ commanded us. Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle requires a transformation of life. This means more than just casual attendance at worship or Bible study. It is a process that begins when the believer "deny self, take up the cross daily, and follow Christ." But it calls for establishing a daily relationship with Jesus through Bible study, prayer, and practicing spiritual disciplines.
