There is no place to stop, plateau, or think we have arrived in our spiritual lives. We are never to stop growing. There is always more we can learn, more we can experience, more steps of faith to take, and more character to be developed.

Main Points:

1.  There are people who once served God. They were faithful to the Lord. They loved God, but today they have abandoned their faith. Somewhere along the way, life became difficult, and they became discouraged. They walked away from their faith in God.

2. Let me encourage you today. As Christians, we cannot stop growing. He cannot stop engaging with the Lord and the church. We cannot become stagnant.

3. There can be no looking back. There can be no hesitation. We must determine in our hearts that we will follow Christ. We must pursue Christ-likeness. Through the Holy Spirit that lives within us, let's continue to develop the character of Jesus in our lives.
