(A) New Series: BACK TO BASICS !
1- Look at the basics of what happens .... right after salvation.
a- Salvation is not a process .... it is an instantaneous miracle.
.... The moment you surrender control of your life to Jesus Christ -- you become part of the body of Christ.
b- Salvation is a passage from death into life.
c- Once you are saved, however ... then the process begins.
d- Then you must start growing spiritually.
2- After you've surrendered control of your life to Jesus, all the resources you need to grow stronger are made available to you.
a- Your growth is not about what you know.
b- It is an issue of what you do with what you know.
c- Your growth is not about being busy.
.... Being busy doesn't even lead to salvation, much less maturity.
3- Spiritual growth is not mystical .... requiring you to learn some clever secret or some formula.
a- It is not sentimental .... requiring you to seek some emotional mountaintop experience.
b- It is not devotional .... requiring you to restrict yourself with rigid rules to try to become more holy.
c- It is not psychological .... requiring you to analyze your subconscious.
* Spiritual growth .... is simply putting into practice the work that God has already begun in your heart.
