Episode notes
Spiritual Growth Is Possible
- Spiritual growth is possible because God's divine power provides everything needed for godly living.
- The Holy Spirit implants the very DNA of God into believers, enabling profound character change.
Growth Happens Gradually Over Time
- Spiritual growth is gradual, much like a baby’s slow physical development or an acorn growing into a giant oak tree.
- Lasting change requires persistent, long-term effort rather than impatience or quick fixes.
Growth Confirms Genuine Faith
- Spiritual growth is essential to confirm our faith and salvation; true faith produces transformation.
- Lack of growth can indicate a need to reflect on the genuineness of one’s belief and grace.
