Ephesians 4:13-15
Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Being a Christian brings a certain amount of accountability. It means “continual” growth in spirit. None of us can be so fully informed that we become “laid” back and thereby retard our roots. As we delve into the Word, and become embroiled further in the doctrine of the LORD, we begin to experience a deeper understanding and fully embrace the embodiment of Christ.
None of us can “arrive” to be all that God intends us to become; every day we are conformed bit by bit, more and more to the image of Christ. He created us to fully enjoy an intimate relationship with Him. He desires a close fellowship with us. Therefore, His Son saved us, and a close knit connection is now available due to our Redeemer!
Walking the narrow path of righteousness, can be difficult. But means we are to live in such a way, that both honors, and pleases our God.
When we’re feeling weak, it’s not due to the lack of available power from above. The might and power of the LORD, that created all things, and raised Jesus from the dead, is available for us at every moment through belief, and prayer. By tapping into that magnificent grace, we are afforded ample opportunity, to live out our lives, according to His will. While aspiring to great heights, and depths in our faith, that we normally couldn’t, or wouldn’t accomplish without Him.
Tapping into His grace, and seeking Him in all we do is the greatest joy, resulting in ultimate peace and confidence every step of the way.
“Father, may I continue to grow spiritually, and tap into your grace and love, while fostering a truly intimate relationship with you, all the days of my life, and beyond, in Jesus name, Amen.”
