GROWTH in Christ

Making Christ Lord of your life is the most important decision you can make.
Just like a seed in the ground cannot grow without water and sunshine neither can you grow in your Christian faith without certain key elements. The Bible says, “The righteous shall live by faith” (Galatians 3:11). Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ with every detail of your life. It must start with getting to know Jesus better, because you can’t trust someone you don’t know. Try these:

G – Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7)
R – Read God’s Word daily (Acts 17:11) – begin with the gospel of John
O – Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21)
W – Witness for Christ by your life and word (Matthew 4:19 & John 15:8)
T – Trust God with every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7)
H – Holy Spirit – Allow Him to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16-17; Acts 1:8)

I would like to help you grow in your new Christian faith. There are some great materials at http://www.growinginchrist.com/ (click on “Develop”) which can help you be sure you are a Christian; give you some basics about the Christian life; and teach you how to pray and learn from the Bible. At www.greatcom.org/spirit you will discover the crucial role the Holy Spirit will play in your life as a Christian.
