What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ?

Jeffrey D. Johnson defines a disciple as an apprentice, a learner aiming to grow in wisdom and knowledge. A disciple is one called by God and born again, evident through their desire to learn and obey. Being a disciple is not just about being a follower; it's about actively seeking growth and maturity, learning from the teachings of Christ and striving to emulate His example.

Matthew 10:24 (NKJV): "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.”
