One word sums up the way of Jesus: abide.
To remain in. To dwell in. To make your home in the person and work of Jesus.
When we commit to this practice - regularly being with Him through Bible and prayer - we become people of peace, joy, and love. Jesus works in us while we work to look more like Jesus.
