Disciples of Jesus are people that are living a new life, a life that is impossible in the natural human condition. Disciples of Jesus are those, as Jon Bailey said, who make grace the resource for their lives. That resource, Gods grace, is God's direct action in our lives, bringing about what we cannot by direct effort. God's will working in our lives, transforming our character, our very nature, into His. The Apostle Apostle Peter says "grow in grace", but this growth is not in the forgiveness of sins, but in God's action in your life. This is what Jesus came preaching about. That now, through our trust in Him, God’s will can now come into our lives and begin to rule. And by becoming ruled, directed, and guided by that will, we are now living in the Kingdom of God.
