BGEA: How can I grow in my spiritual life?

How can I grow in my spiritual life?

The Bible says, "Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). If you have not already done so, we encourage you to organize your day so that you will have a special time to spend alone with God.

Be sure that you do not neglect this "quiet time," for this communion with our Lord will give you strength and power to resist Satan (James 4:7), to live above your circumstances (Romans 5:3-5), and to become a victorious Christian (1 Corinthians 10:13).

It is important that you read your Bible and meditate upon it daily. As the good seed of the Word of God is planted in the heart, watered by prayer, and cultivated through obedience, praise, and Christian service, the child of God matures spiritually, as stated by Paul in Colossians 1:10 and Ephesians 3:17-19.

Growth in the life of a Christian comes as he yields his heart and life to the Savior. The Holy Spirit is then able to transform his life into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Worship and fellowship in a gospel-preaching church are also a necessary part of spiritual growth.

The closer we draw to God, the closer He draws to us. The Holy Spirit lives in us to guide and help us grow in our relationship with Christ.

Over the years I have learned the more thankful I am for what God has done in my life, the closer I am drawn to Him. No matter what the situation, I am thankful to Him. The Bible tells us to be thankful for all things and in all things. I know it seems hard to be thankful when things are going bad, but being thankful is one way of changing the situation. God is God of the hills and the valleys in this life. For me, thanksgiving and praise go hand-in-hand. He is so worthy!
