Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Reflection
When we come to know Jesus Christ it is not the end; it is the beginning. Growing mature in Christ is a process. However, we need to make sure that we are growing toward the goal of maturity. Just as the Apostle Paul said in this verse of scripture, we are not perfect but we need to be pressing forward to become all that Jesus wants us to be. That’s what we are called to do. We are called to go forward. Stagnating will not lead us into maturity.
Again, living life with other people in a group can help us keep on track toward growing in faith and becoming mature. If we are involved in a group that has Christians that want to grow that will help us stay on track and continue our growth process as well.
Do you see yourself on a journey toward maturity?
How have you used your relationships with other Christians to help you grow in the faith?
