Disciples of Christ are different from the world; they act differently and think differently. Disciples have acknowledged Christ as Lord of their lives, and they make Him a priority in everything they do. Their changed character is a result of trusting Christ and does not increase or improve their position as Christians. Disciples practice Biblical disciplines as they are empowered by the Holy Spirit, in thankfulness for what Christ has done for us on the cross. Ultimately, disciples go and make other disciples.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
