It means walking by faith.
For you have now put on the new person with your trust and commitment and devotion into a Person that you cannot see with your two eyes but can see inwardly with your heart, in a Voice you cannot hear audibly with your two ears but can understand inwardly with your soul, in a Presence you cannot touch, but whose movements you can detect with your mind. It is a relationship with the Holy Spirit whose goodness, grace and glory proves a unity with the Heavenly Father and Son in every moment.
Being a disciple means you have embarked on a journey and feel the powerful wind of the Lord on your back to steer you forward. It means it is time to come out of hiding and proclaim His goodness.
Your penance is over.
He has guided you to this point in preparation because you have submitted inwardly in a ready devotion to His Word.
But being a disciple also means surrendering daily to a cause greater than yourself which is the cause of righteousness.
But Relax! To be righteous does not mean to be perfect. Remember you are a work in progress after the Will of God. Our Heavenly Father does not expect perfection. What He looks for in the heart to determine righteousness is not what man in the world looks for.
Do not focus on performing deeds. Study the Word of God, meditate on His Wisdom, seek Him with prayer. Stay centered in His Light of Life by eating, drinking and breathing His Bread, His Water, His Word, His Light!
It means walking by faith. Faith means being clear about what you regard as truth. And because you are clear inwardly about that truth you walk as if it is so.
