Followers of Christ - John 10:27

A follower is someone who remains in the service of another, who follows the opinions and
teaching of another and who imitates another. Many people are obsessed with, follow closely to others, or are devout followers of sports teams, political figures, environmental causes, or other lifestyles and beliefs. While being devoted to certain causes may impact the world, what ultimately matters is if a person is devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. The chief commitment of our lives should be to God. Jesus said, “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment’” (Matthew 22:37–38).

Genuine Christianity is made up of men and women who have turned away from sin and turned by faith to Christ; trusting solely in His finished work as sufficient to satisfy God’s wrath toward them. But it didn’t end there. They were known as disciples of Christ because of how they lived. They continued in Christ’s teaching, they practiced what they learned, they believed that His way is the right way to live, and their lives are lived to bring glory to God.
