Episode 8
God wants you to grow up. Your heavenly Father’s goal is for you to mature and develop the characteristics of Jesus Christ.
Spiritual growth is not automatic. It takes an intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort to grow, and persist in growing. Discipleship—the process of becoming like Christ—always begins with a decision.
Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you
choose to make. Your commitments can develop you or they can
destroy you, but either way, they will define you.
God has given you a new life; now you are responsible to develop it “with fear and trembling.” That means to take your spiritual
growth seriously!
