Becoming a good person How do you become a really good person? You place your confidence in Jesus Christ and become his student or apprentice in kingdom living. That amounts to progressively entering into the abundance of life he brings to us. You learn from him how to live in the kingdom of God as he himself did. There is much to learn after you enter. To go through the door is not necessarily to live in the house. Our confidence that Jesus is "the One" leads us to go constantly to school with him, taking our whole life with us, and it is in so doing that love comes to pervade our life to such an extent that we are unmistakably his students. He said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35). He can impose this challenge upon himself as teacher because he knows no one else can produce the human transformation he has in mind From Knowing Christ Today: Why We Can Trust Spiritual Knowledge.
