Being a Christian is all fine and dandy, but that can take many different turns. We can be a lazy Christian, one with little faith, or one with great faith but few works, or anything in between. However, to be a true believer, we need to have strong faith, good works and spiritual growth. That last one is ever so important, because if we don't grow in the knowledge and ways of God, then we won't be able to improve or fulfill our Christian mandate, which is to become as Christ-like as possible. And remember Bruh Paul promised that God will continue the good work He's begun in us until the day of Christ: (Phil. 1:6) which means He'll never stop working to bring us as close as possible to the likeness of His Son Jesus Christ. It is therefore our responsibility to keep learning and growing in the direction in which the Spirit of the Lord guides us, so that we can fulfill God's good plan for our lives! Much LOVE!
