Transformation Continuing
The Christian life begins with faith, but that faith must lead to spiritual growth---unless it is dead faith. But dead faith is not saving faith.
James 2 Verse 23: "So the scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, and he is called God's friend".
Faith leads to growth, and growth leads to practical results in life and service.
The best defense against wrong teaching is true living. A church filled with growing Christians, vibrates in their faith. Is not likely to fall for counterfeit Christianity.
This Christian living must be based on the Authoritative Word of God. Which means a living at Our Lord and Our Friend used in John 17 Verse 17: "Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth".
Sanctify here means, 'set apart for special use'.
We must be guarding ourselves from false teaching, growing in Faith, and Glorifying the Lord, making the most of every opportunity to win the lost and strengthen the saved.
A Christian life is a growing in Faith Life, and the evidence of that a living epistle in our lives.
God Bless.
