Four Levels Of Spiritual Maturity
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Oct 15, 2019 (message contributor)
There are 4 levels of spiritual maturity for believers in Christ. I have created the names of each phase to add to this great quote from John Maxwell:
#1 - REBELLION: I'm going to do what I want regardless of what God says.
#2 - CONDITIONAL LOVE: If God gives me what I want, I will give Him what He wants.
#3 - GROWING FAITH: I will give God what He wants, with faith that He will give me what I need.
#4 - SELFLESS WORSHIP: I will give God what He wants, regardless of any thought for myself, because He is Lord and worthy of my praise.
Which one describes your heart right now?
