As we apprentice with Jesus in our discipleship journey, we become more like him. It's in our nature to become like the people we surround ourselves with, and so as we spend more time with Jesus and his community of disciples, we grow in Christlikeness. Through spiritual practices, the transforming work of the Spirit, and taking up our cross to follow Jesus, we can grow into disciple-making disciples. If we want to experience the life of Jesus, then we need to adopt his lifestyle by forming spiritual habits that lead us in the way of Jesus. Disciples can grow from immature followers to spiritually mature practitioners of the Kingdom of God.
