Spiritual Development Studies
We are told unequivocally that as Christians we are to grow in Grace and Knowledge. Yet some commentators and denominations take any suggestion of spiritual development as trying to attain salvation by works. While it is vitally important that we do not lessen or reduce the saving impact of God's Grace in our lives, we should also realise that once called, we are expected to bear much fruit or be counted as unprofitable servants and cast into the fire. While we rely in faith on Jesus Christ to produce that spiritual fruit through the power of the Holy Spirit we must not shirk our responsibilities that come with God's calling. Discipleship implies we will be engaged in spiritual growth and development and these studies are designed to explain a little of what that entails.
