Principles of Growth

The spiritual journey often mirrors the life of a newborn. Upon accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior, a person becomes a spiritual newborn. Similar to an infant requiring nourishment to thrive, a new Christian must undertake specific steps to foster spiritual growth. Here are five foundational principles crucial for progressing from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity. These steps are essential for growth in the spiritual journey.

Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby
