*fromBibleHub.com ‘In a broader sense, “disciples of Christ” now refers to all who have placed their faith in Him and endeavor to follow His teachings. While the Twelve had a unique role in establishing the early church, every believer is called to the same heart posture of learning and living out the gospel, reliant on Scripture and the Holy Spirit’s guidance.’
