When the Lord describes abundant life for us he tells us that this life is a growing life.<\/p>\n
In this devotional we’ll consider a few passages that tell us that our life as one of Jesus’s disciples is meant to be a growing life. This is an adventure of growth that lasts the rest of our lives. The Lord does not us in the dark, and that is one of the reasons Scripture is sop clear about our need to grow.<\/p>\n
Paul says in Ephesians 4 that we are to, \u201cgrow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.\u201d This is where abundant life lies. This is how the Lord defines life.<\/p>\n
Passages we reference in today’s video are:
Philippians 1:6
Philippians 2:12-13
Ephesians 4:11-16
1 Peter 2:1-3
2 Peter 1:3-11<\/p>\n
