That’s the working definition of discipling for this book: helping others to follow Jesus.
discipling is deliberately doing spiritual good to someone so that he or she will be more like Christ.
To be a Christian means to be a disciple. There are no Christians who are not disciples.
Any claim to love for God that does not show itself in a love for neighbor is a love of a false god, another form of idolatry. In these verses Jesus and John reconnect some of the links broken at the fall.
God wants you to be in churches not merely so that your needs are met, but so that you will be equipped and encouraged to care for others.
