How do we know if we are true disciples of Christ?

The assurance of being a true disciple of Christ lies in our continued engagement with His word. Jesus states that if we abide in His teachings, we are indeed His disciples. This is not presented as a condition for discipleship but rather as a manifestation of true faith. The presence of spiritual fruit in our lives, which is the work of the Holy Spirit, serves as evidence of genuine discipleship. As we grow in understanding and obedience to God's word, we recognize that it is ultimately God's grace sustaining us in this commitment.
