We receive questions like, "Where
do I begin", and "How do I grow spiritually?"
The goals are:
- To grow in our love for God
- To grow in our love for others
- To become fully functioning followers of Jesus
Our ultimate purpose on earth is to glorify God. First, we do
this by getting saved. Then, from that moment forward, we walk
with God and should daily get closer to Him. The Bible tells us
that all Christians are expected to continuously grow into and
then act as fully-functioning followers of Christ. As a man, that
also means leading in some manner. After all, the Bible says we
are "His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus and thoroughly
furnished to do good work".
We should not to be fed with milk, but rather meat (1 Corinthians
3:2). God is most glorified by His children when Christ leads
them. God has ordained that pastors and teachers equip believers
for the work of the ministry, and every Christian looking for
a church should want to know how they will grow as a disciple
of Christ in that particular church (Ephesians 4:11). |
