5 Day Study On Spiritual Growth

Dia 1 de 5

We have multiple markers that identify us, and verify we are who we say that we are, such as a driver's license, social security number and birth certificate. But sadly, identities get stolen and exploited. In a recent study on identity theft, it was reported that over $107 billion dollars have been stolen in the past six years. The victims often face difficult challenges in reclaiming their identity.

As Christians, we receive a new identity that is essential to our spiritual growth. It is vital to know who you are, how you have been changed and the purposes God now has for you in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says our old lives are gone, which means spiritual growth presupposes that new life has begun. When a sinner places their faith in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life, a new birth has taken place, and a new identity has been given. That identity places us with Christ, giving us everything we need to grow spiritually. 

According to Ephesians 1, we have blessings, holiness, redemption, forgiveness, grace, revelation, an inheritance, hope, assurance, power and victory in our new identity with Christ! Unfortunately, many Christians either don’t understand their new identity or have allowed Satan to steal it. This is why Paul prays that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened. That is, he prays that we can recognize or reclaim our identities in Christ. Once you understand who you are in Christ, you will begin to experience spiritual growth like never before. 

How would you describe your old life before accepting Jesus Christ versus your new life in Christ after your conversion?

5 Day Study On Spiritual Growth

We expect trees, grass, animals and babies to grow. When they don’t, we know something is wrong. What is true in the natural realm is also true in the spiritual realm. Believers are expected to grow, and when they don’t, something is wrong. In this five-day reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans will introduce you to the process of spiritual growth.
