Discipleship can be defined as the lifelong process of Christians who follow Jesus. To be a disciple of Jesus is to follow him, but what does that mean? Following Jesus begins when the Holy Spirit creates faith in Jesus within your soul. That following continues as you steadily place your trust in Jesus, but there's more to it according to the one you follow. Jesus teaches you in Luke 14 that his followers will endure suffering because they may have to give up relationships and possessions if they get in the way of following Jesus with godly lives. That's perfectly fine for the Christian because this "cost" is worth it. Following Jesus means eternal life with him.
