3 SIMPLE WAYS TO GROW IN CHRIST!
Christian life is a progressive movement toward spiritual maturity. Your experience of following Jesus should be taking you somewhere. The goal of your growth ought to be that you are being “transformed” into the image of the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 3:18 Romans 12 :1-2
what is maturity? Very simply, it is growing to the place where you think, judge, and react biblically to every situation. When it is the rule and not the exception for you to apply the Bible to your life; when you place every area of your life under the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Bible calls it Christlikeness, because Jesus is intent on making you like Him. Who else is worthy for you to pattern your life after?

And do what it said Col. 3:16 /Philippians 4:9 /2 Peter 3: 18 This right here is why many Christians are not make much spiritual growth over the course of their lives after they initially get saved – all because they are not seeking after the knowledge of God that will cause this spiritual growth to occur in the first place. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Add to your faith 2 Peter 1: 3-8 Peter give us a progressive list of Christian virtues that, when established in our lives, will cause us to be fruitful and productive in the very knowledge of God. If we fail to grow in Christ we lose our identification in him.
