Christian Growth Is Very Important!

Galatians 4:1, "Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all"  Beloved of God, it is very important that we take our Christian life very seriously, else you will be like a babe/slave and can be easily manipulated by life circumstances.  A Christian is not normal, you are different and must live differently.  A true Born-Again Christian has the life and nature of God in him/her and must live by the principle of God's kingdom if he/she wants to enjoy life.  Look at the scripture again and meditate on it.  The reason why some Christians suffer unnecessarily is because most are lazy, lazy to pray, lazy to go to church, lazy to read your Bible etc. We have to start training ourselves in the things of God. Don't let your Christianity be only on Sundays, you must make extra effort to know God better, because the more you know God, the more you know yourself since you are born of God.  James 4:8, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.."
