Ep03.06: Unpacking Series - Maturity

Christian growth/maturity:

• the further advancement (leveling up) into our individual full potential,
• which comes through deliberate, gradual progress over time,
• as we augment, enable, and tweak our spiritual nature (thoroughly, in every necessary detail),
• by applying the details of Scripture to the details of our lives as we walk in step with the Spirit,
• until we reach complete, excellent, perfectly sound, Christ-like character (according to our design),
• so that we may most fully love God and others.
• [which will be rewarded in Heaven]

Christian maturity is the gradual process of deliberately walking in step with the Spirit, to enhance every necessary detail of our spiritual nature, until we become the complete version of who Christ designed us to be.

Following up on the episode on Faith, we now look at the deeper aspects of faith, where we are maturing in our application of the details of Scripture, 'leveling up' and becoming the more complete persons that God designed us to be.
