Grow Up!

Ephesians 4:15(a) " But speaking  the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,"
Ephesians 4:14(a) " That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every doctrine ,"

God wants us to grow up like Christ in everything,,, we are not meant to remain as children in Christ. Our heavenly Father's goal  is for us to mature and develop the characteristics of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. But, sad to say - many Christians grow older but never grow up stuck in  spiritual infancy, because they intended not to grow.

Our Spiritual growth is not automatic. It takes an intention, self-will commitment.  we must decide to grow, want to grow,  and make an effort to grow, as well as persist in growing.  Becoming like Christ begins with a decision.

The LORD calls us, first in salvation - and we respond.

Nothing forms our life more than  the commitments we choose to make. Our commitments   can - either develop us or they can destroy us.

Most people miss GOD's purpose for their lives because of commitments.
There are some people who are afraid to commit to anything and just drift through life. Some make a full commitment to worldly ambitions, such as becoming wealthy and famous, but only to find themselves at the end disappointed and bitter.

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be  burned up. Every choice we make has eternal consequences, so better choose wisely.
