Question:
Is there any Scripture that shows how I can improve my Christian life?
Answer:
(1.) The Word is essential to our growth process. “As newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2). Look also at 2 Timothy 2:15 and Joshua 1:8.
(2.) Fellowship with believers helps (Hebrews 10:23, 24). Thomas was absent, so he missed out–he doubted all week long (John 20:24-29). If we miss, we’ll miss being encouraged by the Lord’s presence and through the Word. (3.) John 10:27—follow the Lord. Matthew 11:29—learn of Me. Mary sitting at Jesus’ feet…we need to be occupied with Him and His light will shine through us (2 Corinthians 3:18). “We beheld His glory” (John 1:14). When we do this, we’re changed! And we aren’t conscious of it. Moses didn’t realize his face shone when he came down from the mount (Exodus 34:29). (4.) God doesn’t do all the talking. We need to talk to Him too! The order is: He talks to us first through His Word, and then we talk to Him through prayer. (Revelation 3:20). Prayer is like the breath of the Christian. (5.) “Continue thou…” (2 Timothy 3:14). Go on–don’t just do it in spurts. The purpose of every Scripture is to make us “fully fitted to every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17 JND).
