1. Become a child of God.
Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God.”
Colossians 2:12 “Having been buried with Him in
baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him
through faith in the working of God, who raised
Him from the dead.”
2. Let God through His Holy Spirit work in you.
Acts 2:38 “Repent and let each of you be baptized in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your
sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
It takes work to grow spiritually so that you can live
the abundant life that God has planned for us.
God’s Holy Spirit living in you makes it possible to live
that abundant life!
3. Spend time learning the teachings of Scripture.
James 1:21 “Therefore putting aside all filthiness and
all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the
word implanted, which is able to save your souls.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is inspired by God and
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
training in righteousness; that the man of God may
be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
4. Live according to the teachings of Scripture.
James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving yourselves.”
Realize that God’s way is the best way!
2 Timothy 2:22 “Flee from youthful lusts, and instead
follow after righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along
with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
5. Commit to growing spiritually.
Ephesians 4:13-15 God wants us to “attain to the unity
of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to
a mature man, to the measure of the stature which
belongs to the fulness of Christ. As a result, we are no
longer to be children . . . but speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in all aspects into Him.”
6. Know and follow God’s will for your life.
JESUS did it – John 6:38 “For I have come down from
heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who
sent Me.”
PAUL did it – Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with
Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life
I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
