Being a disciple of Jesus means living solely for Him and actively engaging in making disciples through teaching and modeling Christ-like behavior. The process of discipleship involves prayer, building relationships, understanding spiritual states, and teaching the essentials of the gospel, baptism, and the Lord's supper. The ultimate goal is to foster Christlikeness in oneself and others, focusing on love, obedience, and living according to Jesus's example.

For some members of Chloe’s household
have told me about your quarrels, my dear
brothers and sisters. Some of you are
saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others
are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow
Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.” Has Christ
been divided into factions? Was I, Paul,
crucified for you? Were any of you
baptized in the name of Paul? Of course
not!

But when the Pharisees heard that he
had silenced the Sadducees with his
reply, they met together to question him
again. One of them, an expert in
religious law, tried to trap him with this
question: “Teacher, which is the most
important commandment in the law of
Moses?”
Matthew 22:34-36 (NLT)

26. Love is the Main Focus
Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord
your God with all your heart, all your
soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first
and greatest commandment. A second
is equally important: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law
and all the demands of the prophets are
based on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40 (NLT)
