1 John 3:1-2 says, “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are the sons of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”

The Lifestyle of a Disciple is most beneficial when used as discipleship material for a small group of people. Meeting weekly to go over the exercises, to quote the memory verses, and to have corporate prayer times is as important as receiving the Bible teaching.
