The Disciples of Jesus Christ Must Go – Exterminate Them!

Saul wasn’t content with just a personal desire to exterminate the disciples of Jesus Christ, but he also wishes to make it legal and acceptable. So, “... Saul, yet breathing out [threats] and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,” (Acts 9:1).

Who are the Disciples of Jesus Christ?

Are all Christians disciples of Jesus Christ? However, we need not guess. Jesus tells us who qualify as his disciples. First, for us to become disciples of Jesus Christ we must hear, receive, and believe his Word. We cannot be his disciples and never hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or remain unbelievers. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed",(John 8:31). Second, we must "continue in" the Word of Jesus Christ. The Word is not our thoughts. It's not our pastors' opinion. As a matter of fact, it's nobody's opinion.

We Ought to Obey God Rather Than Men

To obey God is different from complying with anyone else. The Lord God is not a man. And obeying Him is not mechanical. We can’t execute His desires half-heartedly or how we desire. We could only carry out His wishes on His terms or not at all.
