God doesn't intend for you to be a stagnant believer. far from it! God's plan for you includes a lifetime of prayer, praise, and spiritual growth.
as christians, we can and should continue to grow in the love and the knowledge of our Saviour as long as we live. when we cease to grow, either emotionally or spiritually, we do ourselves and our loved ones a profound disservice. but, if we study God's Word, if we obey HIS commandments, and if we live in the protection of HIS will, we will not be "stagnant" believers, we will, instead, be growing christians.....and that's exactly what God wants for our lives.
if we are to be the kind of righteous christian men that God intends, we must continue to grow in our knowledge and love of the Lord. in those quiet moments when we open our hearts to God, the One who made us keeps remaking us. He gives us direction, perspective, wisdom and courage.
so, are you continually seeking to become a more mature believer? hopefully so, because that's exactly what you owe to yourself and to God.......but not necessarily in that order. remember this: spiritual maturity is a journey, not a destination. and the sooner you begin that journey, the farther you're likely to go. have a nice day !!!
quote of the day:
"Being a Christian means accepting the terms of creation, accepting God as our maker and redeemer, and growing day by day into an increasingly glorious creature in Christ, developing joy, experiencing love, maturing in peace." by Eugene Peterson
