2 Peter 3:18. This new series is about what you’re supposed to do when you are a Christian. We often talk about how to become a Christian, as we should, but we also need to study what to do when you become a Christian. We understand growth when it comes to a baby, or when talking about skill development in a sport or in playing an instrument, or even riding a bike. When it comes to our spiritual lives, God expects every Christian to grow and mature. To be a healthy Christian, we must grow spiritually. Lack of growth equals lack of health. The more I get to know Jesus, the more I get to know his grace. Bible study and prayer are two of the most important ingredients to spiritual growth. You simply cannot mature as a Christian and become more like Jesus without immersing yourself in the Word of God and prayer.
