The Daily Dose #0023
Spiritual growth is not a matter of time or age; it’s a matter of obedience. Many people assume that just by being a Christian for a long time, they will naturally grow in faith and maturity. However, true spiritual maturity comes from consistently aligning your life with God’s will. It’s your willingness to obey Him, even in the difficult or uncomfortable areas of life, that deepens your relationship with Him and strengthens your faith. Obedience to God is the key to growing into the mature believer He calls you to be.
Each step of obedience brings you closer to Christ and shapes your character to reflect Him more clearly. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that simply attending church or identifying as a Christian over the years will mature you spiritually. It is your active surrender and daily commitment to follow God's commands that leads to true growth. Spiritual maturity is not about how long you’ve walked the path, but how faithfully you’ve followed Christ.
