Hebrews 12:1 - 3
Christian Growth is not optional
Everything in our world takes time.
Salvation is just the start.
Justification takes an instant - because of what Jesus has already done.
Sanctification takes a lifetime.
Christian growth
Spiritual maturity
Spiritual growth
Spiritual formation
Becoming more Christ-like
Growing in Faith
What it is is more important than what it is called
Christian growth is the process of becoming more like Christ, deepening in faith, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, God's word, prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:29
2 Peter 3:8
Ephesians 4:22 - 24
Colossians 1:9, 10
Great Cloud of Witnesses
The cloud is associated with God's presence
E.g. God guiding the Israelites through the wilderness after the Exodus.
Run with perseverence the race that is worked out for us.
Make Jesus Christ your model.
