Today's Devotion:
"GROWING toward MATURITY"
Maturity is knowing you haven't achieved
it, and continuing to pursue it.
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Eph. 4:11-13
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ:
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
A newborn baby needs HELP to grow.
Then, the child needs TEACHING to grow.
Then, the child needs ENCOURAGEMENT
to grow.
ALL Christians are children GROWING to
be more like Christ.
Therefore, ALL Christians are to exercise
their gifts:
1) to help others come to KNOW Christ;
2) to help others GROW in Christ.
((I remember a lady who applied this to her
life in her latter years.
She was bedridden, but EVERY week she
called EVERY member of her Sunday School
class to see if they were ok, and to remind
them to be in Sunday School.
And if one was ill, she called their deacon,
and asked him to go and visit with them.))
WHERE and HOW is YOUR "gift" being USED?
If it is not being used, it is being abused.
HOW LONG are we to EXERCISE our "gift(s)?"
"Till we all come in the UNITY of the FAITH..."
We shall never achieve maturity in the faith
of Christ until we graduate through death and
go to live with Christ forever.
We are to be GROWING toward Maturity!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
