Huge amounts of ink or pixels are used in discussing spiritual growth. However, very little ink or pixels are used in clarifying what spiritual growth actually IS.
Most who attempt this tend to parrot others who say things like:
1. Become more obedient to God’s Word,
2. Become more conformed to the image of Christ (whatever that means),
3. Be more like Christ in behavior (as in WWJD?),
4. Develop the fruit of the Spirit.
I’d like to take those one at a time, show where they fall short, and then take a stab at defining what spiritual growth really is.
Read the rest HERE.
