Truth from Jesus sets his believing disciples free from the slavery of their sins. Leaving his teachings, even if doing so is to align with traditional teachings of church councils, means running ahead and losing fellowship with Jesus and forfeiting discipleship of Jesus and of the Father. Learning by faith in Jesus the teachings of Jesus, staying in them, leads to living fruitful lives in him, and eternal life in him, in fellowship with him and his Father. It also entails living a life united with him. Unity with Jesus is at a spiritual level. The Holy Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead is at work in the believing disciple of Jesus. Jesus can reach out spiritually to visit this disciple. This unity with Jesus unites each disciple at a spiritual level with every other disciple with fellowship in together comprising one whole body with Jesus Christ as head, while each lives in his teachings, believing in him as Light of the World sent by God. This affects what is right and wrong for each one. It leads to the kind of morality and right living the Father desires. It leads to having the Holy Spirit and worshipping the Father in spirit and truth. Each one becomes sealed by the Holy Spirit, as the working of the Holy Spirit in each one becomes manifested. This leads to confident hope for the outcome of the day the Lord Jesus Christ will return, raising up living and dead believing disciples together with him at his coming. This hope and the Holy Spirit workings are glue holding the believing disciples together even now. It builds all of these into a living Temple for the Father.
