When a person accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour, he undergoes a spiritual change of enormous significance. He is transformed into a child of God; having been born of God, he is born again. The spiritual rebirth ought to result in his becoming a man newly "Created in Christ Jesus unto good works". The statement in II Corinthians 5:17, "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature", points out the responsibility of every believer to study the Word of God and obey it correctly and thus prove that his acceptance of Christ as his Lord and Saviour is real and sincere. When he submits himself to the Spirit of God and acts and behaves bearing in mind this responsibility, he undergoes a continuous and steady transformation leading him to the discipleship of Christ. This growth toward spiritual maturity and discipleship begins in the life of a believer when he starts loving and obeying his Lord. It is explained that loving Jesus more than everybody and everything else is essential for spiritual growth into discipleship. It is pointed out that a disciple of Christ has to put up with many a suffering in order to be able to serve his Lord as a faithful servant. And it is also pointed out that it is the willingness to obey the Word in spite of difficulties, hardships and persecutions that will earn the believer great reward in Heaven. Becoming a true disciple of Christ, therefore, is a great blessing that every believer should aspire for.
