How the Holy Spirit changes us for growth in the Lord.
|
When the transformation of salvation takes place, spiritual growth begins. The Holy Spirit indwells us (John 14:16-17). ****We are new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The old nature is replaced with a new one (Romans 6-7).**** Spiritual growth is a life-long process that depends on our study and application of God's Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and our walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26). As we seek spiritual growth, we should pray to God and ask for wisdom concerning the areas He desires us to grow in. We can ask God to increase our faith and knowledge of Him. God desires for us to grow spiritually, and He has given us all we need to experience spiritual growth. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can overcome sin and steadily become more like our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. |
