Growing into Perfection
In our Christian experience, we need to move beyond the soft spiritual food of babyhood. Part of perfecting our characters as God’s children and preparing for our future in heaven is to grow past the basic truths, grasp the deep lessons our heavenly Father wants us to understand, and develop holy characters. It’s His purpose “that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine … but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ” (Ephesians 4:14, 15).
God wants us to “be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding” and to be “fruitful in every good work” (Colossians 1:9, 10). Of course, none of us can produce this kind of spiritual maturity within ourselves; it can only be realized when we have Christ living daily within our hearts.
The process of sanctification is often a struggle as we learn to yield our will to Him and resist temptations. But He has promised to strengthen us. Today, He assures you that He is “able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24).
