The commitment to lifelong spiritual growth in Christ (part 1)

The commitment to lifelong spiritual growth in Christ is a never-ending process, which should not cease until our death. Maybe you, someone, or many, you know and care deeply for, have ceased to show, "fruit,” through works for the Lord. Be it yourself, your significant other, a friend, or co-worker, but the evidence of spiritual growth is nonexistent.

 In either instance, GOD has called you to commit to, and or offer, biblical correction through the love of Christ, to bring about spiritual growth, and glorify HIM. This is not always an easy task. Never forget however, GOD will always equip you, and send assistance when necessary, for all that HE has called you to do in HIS name, and for HIS glory, including this.

     The process, does however, start with us. For the most effective way to show someone how to do anything is for us, to first, do it ourselves. Thus, I must ask you to take a sincere personal inventory. Being honest and transparent, for only with honesty and transparency, shall we be able to attain true spiritual growth in Christ.

·        Have you fully, surrendered your life to GOD, and committed to living a spirit-filled life?

·        Is there sin in your life that GOD has communicated to you that is blocking you from a deeper relationship with HIM?

·        How often do you study and meditate upon the bible, and other biblically based study materials?

·        Are your prayers merely requests that you seek GOD to fulfill, or are your prayers a means of communication with GOD, so that HE may inform you of HIS will for your life?

These questions are to initiate the process, and or encourage you to commitment to spiritual growth, neither to cause nor to illicit guilt. For the love of GOD, desires us to acknowledge our calling to live HOLY, as HE is, and not be deterred by our past.
