Growing in Christ

Listen: MP3

“According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.” 1 Corinthians 3:10
If we are to serve God effectively we need to be growing; in our knowledge of Him, in how much we act like Him, in our love for Him.
If you have been saved and are one of God’s chosen few, His redeemed, then you have the foundation laid. Now you must begin to build on it by growing in Jesus Christ.
“Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint; 
but happy is he who keeps the law.” Proverbs 28:19
By studying God’s Word we can grow and begin to act more like Him.
We have the revelation of God’s Word to keep us close to Him. The people that don’t study Him are those who “cast off restraint”. They may even claim to be Christians, but if they don’t read His Word and follow it how can they make this claim?
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:4
We can have victory over the world through our faith in Christ; and when we have overcome the world we can impact the world for Jesus!
