What does it take to be a disciple of Christ?

Jesus answers this question in a brief, clear way in a couple of statements.

John 8:31 — “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'”

Luke 14:25-35 — “And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple (27). … So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple (33).”

The Greek word (mathetes) disciple means a student who learns from his master (teacher), follows him, imitating his life.  The loyal disciple holds to the teaching of his master, following his instructions in all circumstances at the expense of all other things.
