Spiritual Growth

John 6:66-68 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

The Greatest Tragedy in the Christian Church is the Believer Who Refuses to Grow Up.

Christians are not all on the same spiritual level.

John 21:15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

"Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you even like me a lot?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I like you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. Again Jesus said

Romans 14:1, 15:1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

Hebrews 5:11-6:1 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Hebrews 6:1-3 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.

1 John 2:12-14 I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

Exercise: How far along are you in your personal journey to maturity? Where are you on the spiritual growth line? Are you pleased with your progress?

In addition to our spiritual growth, we see in 1 John 2: a deepening in our love relationship with Christ.

The Father’s purpose is to mature his children to look like Jesus.

Romans 8:28-29 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son. Romans 8:28-29 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son.

What He does promise is that every single experience we have is designed and allowed by the father for the good purpose of maturing us to look like Jesus.

Unfortunately, many Christians don’t look much like Jesus- especially in the early stages of their spiritual journeys.

Do people think of Jesus when they think of you? What do they think of? Who do you know that looks the most like Jesus?

Tom, is it possible for me to draw out in real time another spiritual growth graph at this point in the presentation? My ppt computer program allows me to write in real time in a ppt. presentation? On a chalk board or easel? Let me know, please.
