Steps to Spiritual Growth

So, you're a growing Christian, or you've recently given your life to Christ and you are trying everything you can to live your life dedicated to God and in this Christ-like path you have chosen. You've learnt a lot about your new self, you've probably learned and are still learning how to live by faith, love, and all of that, but you want more. You want to be able to do more for God, you don't want to be an ordinary child of God, an ordinary Christian, you want to grow from your present spiritual level to a higher level of spirituality.

St.Peter has given us a dynamic strategy for improvement, he has given us principles to live by, he promised in 2peter 1:12-15 to remind us of these principles, these truths that we already know. Like a good coach, he knew that reviewing the basics is important.

If you want more and more of Gods kindness and peace, then make the following your habit:

 

* Learn to know God better: 2peter 1:3 says                

 "For if you learn to know Him better, He will

 give you, through His great power, everything    

 you need for living a truly good life: He even

 shares His own glory with us!" The only true

 place you can learn about God is from the

 bible, for all scripture is inspired by the Holy

 spirit. Always study your bible.

* You must work hard to be good.

* You need faith, for without faith you can't.  

  please God.

* Discover what God wants you to do through  

  fervent prayer and studying the bible.

* Learn to put aside your own desires so that

  you would become patient and godly, gladly

  letting God have His way with you.            

* Learn to love: Enjoy other people, truly like

  them and show it.

The more you go on in this way the more u will grow spiritually and become fruitful and useful to our Lord JesusChrist. Vs 10 says "So dear brothers, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen, and then u will never stumble or fall away. And God will open wide the gates of heaven for you to enter into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

* Inspired by the 2peter 1.
