1 Corinthians 1:21
Christians begin their journey as spiritual babies. No one is born into the family of God as a full-fledged adult. We must all grow into maturity. What are the means of that growth and how does sanctification work in the life of the believer?
What is spiritual growth and what does it look like? It’s not simply doing the right thing, having the right experience, keeping the right rules, gaining the right knowledge, joining the right church, or avoiding the right pitfalls. As good as those things are, true sanctification is a slow, incremental, process of change in a person’s life.
