Devotional
So, another sure way we can grow in right behavior in Christ is to live by the Spirit (Rom 8:14). We must learn to trust the Holy Spirit to guide us, direct us and empower our daily life. Sincerely speaking, no one who would grow in right behavior in Christ Jesus without the help of the Holy Spirit. We need the help of the Holy Spirit so that we may not gratify the desires of the sinful nature (Gal 5:16).
Key Scripture
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation1 Peter 2:2 ESV
Refreshing for the Day
One more way we can grow in right behavior in Christ is to witness for Christ by our lives and words. Witnessing for Christ is not just an instruction from the Lord (Matt 28:19-20), but it places a mark of greatness on us, and we’re revered so in heaven (Matt 4:19). Witness makes us fruitful. Any wonder the Bible says, “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (Jn 15:8). And one other way is by studying the Word of God daily (2 Tim 2:15) and being obedient to God’s instructions (Jn 14:21). Stay Refreshed!
Note This
It is not just of him that’s willing, would grow in right behavior in Christ, but it’s he whom the Holy Spirit has helped.
