The Nature of Life Is to Grow

I thought that merely to have christ within as our life was sufficient. But it's becoming more and more clear that this divine life we've received really needs to grow. O my dear brothers and sisters in the lord, i would beg you, i would urge you, to go to the lord desperately that you may grow in life unto maturity. This is the growth that is for the fulfilment of god's economy. God's purpose depends upon and requires believers in christ growing to maturity.
