I can appreciate what you intend, but it is important, I see, to not be occupied with being a "disciple" (follower), but a faithful "saint" of God ---by a new birth. After the Gospels, and a few references in Acts, we don't read of disciples (meaning hopeful followers), but saints of God. When one is "born again" by the spiritual new birth of one who is now in Jesus, the Christ (John 3; 1 Jn. 5:10-12; etc.) that one is not just a follower of the Lord's teachings, but now a "child of God" by the new life given in the birth (note also John 14) ---one possessing Christ. We then need to be obedient to God's Word and always seek to honor Him in our walk and conversation.

This is an important distinction to see what our relationship should be. God wants us to be His children, not just followers trying to keep some teachings. Many religious souls seek to win God's favor by following some of God's teachings. I hope this will help shed some light on the subject.
