Are You Growing Spiritually? (1) Galatians 6:5 KJV Here is the first of three Scriptures you can use to measure your spiritual growth: Every man shall bear his own burden. The old saying, Youre only young once, is true, but you can be immature for a lifetime. Paul writes: I couldnt talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk...as though you were infants in the Christian life. I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you werent ready for anything stronger. And you still arent ready, for you are still controlled by your sinful nature (1 Corinthians 3:1-3 NLT). As a parent, you expect a higher level of responsibility and maturity from your teenager than you do from your toddler, right? And your heavenly Father requires the same of you. If youre still being defeated by the same habits and hang-ups you struggled with as a new believer, seek Gods help. If youre to fulfil your God-given destiny you must grow into maturity. Instead of always having to be carried, you must get to the place where you can feed yourself spiritually, pray in faith over your own problems, and make Spirit-led decisions concerning your life. Gods growth plan for us is: We will no longer be immature like children. We wont be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:14-15 NLT). Spiritual growth must be your priority; otherwise it wont happen!
