Hello, Holy Spirit Devotional Week 15 – Hello, Maturity
Growing in Spiritual Maturity
There are foundational teachings in the Christian faith that every believer must understand—repentance, faith in Christ, salvation by grace rather than works, baptism, spiritual gifts, the resurrection, and eternal life. These are essential truths, the building blocks of our faith.
However, we are not meant to remain in spiritual infancy. While we must never abandon these foundational truths, we are called to grow beyond them, deepening our understanding and maturing in our walk with Christ. Maturity in faith means applying what we know, teaching others, and continuously seeking a greater revelation of God’s Word.
A mature believer is one who disciples others—sharing the gospel, guiding new believers, and living out the truth they have learned. Teaching others strengthens our own faith and deepens our relationship with God. The journey of spiritual maturity is ongoing, requiring us to remain teachable, humble, and obedient to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Let us go forward, not backward, in our faith, allowing the Holy Spirit to shape us into mature followers of Christ.
