Personal Reflection:

  • Think about who you are today. Are you growing to be more and more like Jesus?
  • If not, there are two possible reasons. 1) You are still dead in your sins 2) You are not participating with God in the process of spiritual discipline.
    • 1) Your next step is to consider Jesus for real and trust in Him alone to forgive you and make you a new person. If you have questions, talk to someone who can guide you through this decision.
    • 2) Your next step is to begin spending regular time with God allowing Him to mold and shape you into the person He wants you to be.
  • Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Pray and ask God for a plan of personal Biblical Discipline that you may be ‘complete’ in His eyes.
