Title: Why the Cross Matters (2 of 7)
Series: The Power of the Cross
Scripture: 1 John 1:5-10

A dwarf is someone with stunted growth. The reason why dwarfism exists is that something blocks 'HGH'. HGH is the human growth hormone. HGH is blocked or restricted, and this leads to dwarfism. Because this absolutely necessary hormone is either missing or unusually restricted, intended growth, desired growth, does not occur. In order for you to grow spiritually, there must be the unrestricted flow of 'sGH', spiritual growth hormone. The hormone that God uses to grow us is a hormone called 'Grace'. Grace is the goodness of God flowing through the life of the believer. There is a grace hormone blocker that can lead you to being a spiritual dwarf. There is something that blocks the free flow of grace. Sin is the thing that can interrupt or interfere with God's desired flow of grace in your life. Sin has the potential to restrict God's grace leading to you have stunted spiritual growth.1

Three Characteristics of John's Writing
