Our way of life tells a lot about us. Obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ is key in our Christian path. We are meant to emulate Christ so much that people begin to see Him in us. A disciple's concern is solely on how to please Christ.
A true disciple stays true to his belief on the word of God irrespective of the situation of things — whether it be good or bad. The disciples of Jesus Christ went through a lot of tribulations. Apostle Paul suffered ship wreck multiple times but never renounced his faith in God.
A true disciple never compromise at any point in time despite what he may face. His number role model is Christ Jesus and nothing in this life can make him shift his gaze from Jesus. A true disciple has the will of God at heart and places it foremost before considering his own desires and drama.
