When we follow all the teachings of Jesus Christ we will be His disciples. Disciples are not just people who know Jesus Christ. They are not just those who have the Bible. They are not just those who go to church. The disciples of Christ are those who learn from Him and obey His commandments.
A true disciple is one who has submitted himself to learn from the master. He is like an apprentice. A disciple knows what His master does and does the same. We must know the commandments of God. We must know the word of God. We must obey the commandments of Jesus Christ which we have learnt from Him. We have to study the doctrines of Jesus Christ and understand what his will is so that we can follow them.
We are not the disciples of Jesus Christ when we do not obey His commandments. We are just deceiving ourselves if we follow not the teachings of Jesus Christ. It when we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ totally that we can be called the disciples of Jesus Christ. A true disciple is the one who does his master’s commandments.
