It’s important for us to remember the basics. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby.” Just like babies can’t grow without food, neither can followers of Christ grow without pure spiritual nourishment of the Word of God. 1 Timothy 4:7 reminds us to “exercise [ourselves] toward godliness.” Another element crucial to growth is our need for discipline. We must train ourselves in the things of the Spirit so that we may grow in skill and effectiveness in our ministry for Christ. Focus on these and your spiritual life will be strong and fruitful.
