THE WAY TO GROW SPIRITUALLY IN CHRIST
1 Peter 2:2
As new born babes, desire the pure milk of the word that you may grow thereby.
A person who is "Born Again" starts a new life similar to that of a newborn infant. Seven rules that promote good health in babies can be adapted and applied to a Christian's spiritual growth.
1. Daily Food. Take in the "pure milk of the word" through study and meditation (chewing the word over).
2. Fresh Air. Pray often or you will faint. Prayer is the oxygen of the soul (mind,willpower,emotions).
3. Regular Exercise. 'Put into practice', what you learned in God's Word.
4. Adequate Rest. Rely on God at all times in simple faith.
5. Clean Surroundings. Avoid evil company and whatever will weaken you spiritually. Get along side Christian brother's and sisters in Christ who are each growing and increasing in the teachings of the Kingdom.
6. Loving Care. Be part of a Church where you will benefit from a pastor's teaching and Christian fellowship. Which is the body of Christ each joint and ligament doing it's part supplying to the body each
part drawing from the vine which is Jesus.
7. Periodic Checkups. Regular examine your spiritual health.
If we neglect any of these rules, our progress will be hindered. God wants us to grow "in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
(2 Peter 3:18) Are You Growing?
Read: Hebrews 10:25, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, James 1:22, 1 Corinthians 11:28, 1 Peter 2:2, Psalm 37:7,
1 Corinthians 15:33-34. -H.G.B.
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS ON THE WAY TO MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT!
