Spiritual growth is a fundamental aspect of our lives as Christians and something God’s expects us to achieve and accomplish. He has high hopes and great plans for us even as we, as parents, have those same hopes and dreams for our children. As Christians, our lives should filled with development and growth, the bringing forth of an abundance of spiritual fruit, a constant increase in knowledge and understanding of God’s laws and commandments along with mature ways of expressing and applying those laws and commandments which should lead to a richer more meaningful life filled with loving and lasting relationships . . . the good fruit that comes from Christ living in us. How can we promote that growth in ourselves and encourage it in others?
