Christian Growth

​

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:1-3

Bear Witness

If you are not willing to let your flag fly in the home, in the office, up and down the street, on your job in your neighborhood, then you are not worthy to be an ambassador the Christ. You are to take your stand and let those around you know that you are a Christian.

​

You are to bear witness for Christ.  We witness in two ways: by life and by word, neither of itself is enough. God’s purpose for you and me after we have converted is that we witness to His saving grace and power. Christ said, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess before my Father which is heaven.” Matthew 10:32

Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit.  Remember that Christ dwells in you through the Holy Spirit.  Your body is now the dwelling place of the third person of the Trinity.  It is impossible for you to hold out in your Christian life – but He can hold you.  It is very difficult for Him to hold you if you are struggling, fighting, and striving against the will of God.  Just relax and rest in the Lord. Let go all those inner tensions and complexes. Rely completely on Him. Do not fret and worry about important decisions. Let Him make them for you. Don’t worry about tomorrow for He is the God of tomorrow.  He sees the end from the beginning.
