The way of Christ for a believer is a path of discipleship, which begins by choosing to learn from Him and continues through a lifelong pursuit of His truth. Becoming His disciple means setting your heart to follow, understand, and be shaped by His teachings daily. It means becoming His. He saves His own from their sins. His truth isn’t just information; it is a saving gift—something that transforms and renews from within.
Part of the grace given to disciples is the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father in Jesus’ name. The Spirit doesn’t simply comfort; the Spirit teaches, convicts, and leads, reminding us of all that Jesus has said. Through the Spirit, we are kept in step with God’s will and equipped to live in truth and holiness.
We are also joined into the body of Christ, the community of believers that shares in this calling. We do not walk alone, but grow together—bearing one another’s burdens, building each other up, and serving as one body with many parts. Through this body, we experience Christ’s presence and love in tangible, daily ways.
All of this is held together by the Father's faithful love. His commitment is not momentary or uncertain, but enduring and strong. He continually gives us life in Jesus’ name, sustaining us with grace, mercy, and the promise that we will never be abandoned.
As we learn Christ, walk in His Spirit, live in His body, and trust in the Father's care, we are shaped into His image more each day. But we must continue as disciples, keeping the Lord Jesus’ teachings, so that we remain connected to Jesus Christ, our head. The Father cuts off those who lose the teachings of the Son. Remain a disciple by continuing in these teachings. In so doing, you remain in His love.
