The Bible teaches what’s known as progressive sanctification…
Which is the gradual, life-long process of growing to become more like Jesus Christ.
One of the encouraging aspects of this maturing process is that we can know–what God has begun He will complete.
“He who began a good work in you will perfect it…” (Phil. 1:6).
And one of the most practical aspects of this truth is…
You can take the growth in knowledge, character, and wisdom you gained last week and apply it to what you are facing now.
This is part of God’s glorious work of transforming us by His Spirit (2 Cor. 3:18).
And every day you have opportunities to participate in this work, having taken off the old self and put on the new (Col. 3:9-10).
