We are called by the Lord Jesus to follow Him; to learn of Him; to be His disciple. Central to our personal love relationship with Jesus is being His disciple. If we abide in Him and He in us, we will bear much fruit (John 15:5). If we love Him we will obey Him (John 14:15). Jesus wants His disciples to be like Him.
Jesus speaks to us by His Word as the Spirit gives us understanding. The Lord has given us Genesis through Revelation. We are transformed in our thoughts and understanding and in our faith and behavior by learning the Word of God and trusting and obeying, by His grace; by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
Every issue of life ought to be faced by first asking, “What does the Bible say?” Our priorities in life ought to be according to Genesis through Revelation as applied through the New Testament. Our personal relationship with Jesus, as His disciple ought to be lived out in the context of being the Church together, the Bride, His Body.
