What are the words we are to continue in to be disciples of Christ?

Question

John 8 : 31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Answer 1

John 3:16

For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son, whosoever, believed in him will have everlasting life.  

Answer 2

God sent jesus to redeem mankind.(john 3v16). It is only by having faith in him that we have everlasting life by being 'set free'. (john 17v 3)

Jesus' disciples were sent to preach in jesus' name later on and this would be an identifying mark that they and future ones are truly followers of christ.(matthew 24v14). Also they were to be 'no part of the world', which is under satan's influence. (1john 5v19).

These are essential for us to be extended god's mercy since "faith without works is dead", and so of no value if we do not apply in our lives the teachings of christ.

Answer 3
