They share why it is more than knowledge of who He is and why we should be willing to take that first step.

Imagine you are sitting in a deer stand with a rifle, and you spot a deer, knowing you have a clear shot. You say to yourself, "I believe this gun works," but you never take the shot. Obviously, this would make you a fool, because you never did anything with the tools and opportunities you have.

Take the shot.

 Faith requires the action of obedience. Something to sort out in your group will be the challenge of accepting Him in obedience. There may be men in your group who say they believe in Jesus but do little in obedience. You can't be a disciple and not obey. Remind your group that we surrender personal preference in discipleship. When God calls, we obey. It may be inconvenient and difficult sometimes, but everything that is good carries a challenge.
