"You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."
JOHN 15:3-4
To accept Jesus is not simply accepting him and moving along. It is to contort your life to the ways of Christ. It is to pray and to seek to meditate with your Lord as often as possible. Jesus is first. He is sovereign over all aspects of life. Come to him. Stay with him and enjoy the comforts of spending quality time with your Lord and Savior. You will be equipped with all that you need through Christ.
You cannot produce good fruit separate from the Lord. It is him in you that is good. Every thought and constraint that separates you from the Lord must be brought to him. The Lord did no thing separate than what his father asked of him. We are to do the same with Jesus. The Holy Spirit of God desires to live in you and will live in you - feeding you wisdom, understanding, love, grace, hope and patience from heaven. It is in this unification of your mind, body and soul rightly fixated on Christ Jesus that the Lord's will can be done in you.
