Our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (Msg)
Growing Christlike is a process of conforming to Christ. Growing in Christ should be our aim. This is a lifetime journey. Our growth journey involves believing through faith, belonging in community, and becoming like Christ through our spiritual habits.
Every day God desires for you to become a little more like him. Today’s cultural mindset centers around speed, but God is more interested in strength and stability than swiftness. We want the quick fix, the shortcut, the “on-the-spot” solution. We want a sermon, a seminar, or an experience that will instantly resolve all problems, remove all temptation, and release us from all growing pains.
But real maturity is never the result of a single experience, no matter how powerful or moving. Growth is gradual. The Bible says, "Our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him." 2 Corinthians 3:18 (Msg)
