Nutrients for Christian Cultivation
If you have accepted Christ, you will learn or have learned that it is impossible to stay securely in Him and grow if you do nothing at all to advance your faith. If you dont know already, what you will learn is that it takes fellowship with other Believers, on top of daily staying with the Scriptures and developing your personal relationship, to continue to grow in Christ. That is the purpose for the church. We congregate to grow together in the Lord, knowing that there is no possible way to do this alone. It is true, we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us. But God made this Race so that we grow from others (fellowship of believers) to grow closer to Him. We use others experiences and revelations from Christ to get a clearer picture of who Jesus is in our lives and the lives of others. Sometimes, what others go through is the strongest tool for strengthening us. Knowing that, it is also important to realize that our experiences can help others grow if we share them. Our growing in Christ can affect others growth, if we would only share it! So basically, what am I saying? Discipleship is important. No one can say that the disciples of Jesus did not grow from His teachings. The life of Jesus directly affected those whom He discipled. There should be two aspects in everyones life who truly want a continual growth in Christ. One: Getting discipled. We should find someone father along than us to help us grow in Christ. Two: Disciple someone. Maybe a new believer or someone. Use your life to help them grow. This will also motivate you to have your life able of being copied to help someone else grow. So, TOGETHER, lets grow in Christ!
