What does the Bible say about true disciples of Christ?
Answered in 2 sources
True disciples of Christ are those who are His own, loved, washed from sin, chosen for salvation, and kept by Him.
The Gospel of John, particularly chapter 13, reveals key characteristics of true disciples of Christ. They are described as those whom Jesus has loved and cleansed from sin. This love is not universal but specific to His chosen people. They have been washed clean by His blood and are continually upheld and kept in faith by Him. The true disciples are marked by a transformative love towards one another, reflective of Christ's own love for them.
