Purpose, meaning, a reason for living:—these are all things we desire and search for in life. We each have a spiritual emptiness in our lives, no matter what steps we take to fill the void. Relationships, possessions, success, and even religion fall short of occupying this space. There is only one way to have the absolute hope of eternity in the presence of God.
You might say that the Bible is the "user’s manual of life" we have all been searching for. Everything we need to know about God and living a life that pleases Him is found in its pages. Here are four important things you need to know about growing spiritually.
1. Prayer is simply talking to God. It enables us to seek forgiveness, overcome worry, and grow in spiritual knowledge and maturity.
2. Studying the Bible is necessary for our spiritual growth. It keeps us strong and helps us apply its truth to our lives.
3. An essential part of Christian growth, providing fellowship with other believers. It keeps its members well fed and spiritually active.
4. Jesus told us to "preach the Good News to everyone." Helping lead someone to Christ is one of the greatest things believers can do.
