Jul 7, 2021 · July 7, 2021. The first step to being a faithful follower of Jesus is to understand how he wants you to live. The Bible says that “Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to Father except through me.” (John 14:6) This means that how you live your life should be based on how Jesus lived his life.
Jesus Christ is our prime example of a faithful follower, even as he told God, the Father, in his special prayer toward the end of his earthly ministry prior to his crucifixion: “I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do” (John 17:4). Indeed, Jesus is our ultimate example of faithful following.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Jan 4, 2022 · To truly follow Christ means we do not follow anything else. Jesus said in Luke 9:23, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." There is no such thing as a "halfway disciple." As the disciples demonstrated, no one can follow Christ by the strength of his own willpower.
