One Big Lesson
Notes on my Christian journey so far
After salvation comes spiritual growth, and, as I’ve learned, spiritual growth is about how much of God’s Word I know and how much of this knowledge I allow to influence or change me.
Spirituality aims to make men better. When a man sees God, it should reflect how he sees life and relates to other men. Your view of God will show up in your interaction with other men. When a man has met with a god and is worse than before, unkind, evil, reckless, etc., then we can tell it’s not a good God he’s met with.
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ makes men better. He is in men by His spirit and seeks to influence these men to walk just as He does to other men. We want to act and behave like Him if we have seen Him. This is the point of being adopted by His spirit as His children. See what Paul the apostle had to tell the church in Rome;
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12.1–2, NIV).
