John 8:31

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

A disciple of Jesus is a learner or pupil of Christ, that's what the Greek word translated disciple means.

And in the last 2 posts (here and here), we have seen that a true disciple is one who consistently constantly meditates on (or speaks and or listens throughout the day to) the word of God.

This means that the way we learn of Christ is by consistently meditating on the word of God.

This is important to note because learning of Christ is becoming like or growing up into Him.

We know this because God's ultimate design for every believer is to become like Christ and as such this is the end of all true spiritual knowledge.

See Romans 8:29; Ephesians 4:13-15; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Colossians 2:6-9; Galatians 4:19.

Thus, the way we become like or grow up into Christ in all things is by consistently constantly meditating on (or speaking and or listening throughout the day to) the word of God.

I call you blessed.
