Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1-2, Ephesians 5:15-17
Key Verse: “Be not conformed to this world…” – Romans 12:2
DEVOTIONAL
When someone moves into a new environment, they must learn new ways of living.
In the same way, salvation transfers us into God’s Kingdom. And the values of God’s Kingdom are very different from the world system.
This is why believers need: Teaching, Fellowship, Discipleship, and Spiritual guidance. The Church typically provides all these.
Church is not merely a gathering place. It is a spiritual family where believers are trained in the ways of God.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
Just as parents train children, spiritual maturity requires learning.
Many believers become offended when corrected or instructed. But humility is necessary for growth. A teachable spirit is a sign of spiritual health.
God wants us to grow beyond spiritual infancy into maturity.
- Am I teachable?
- How do I respond to correction from God’s Word?
- Am I intentionally growing spiritually?
Commit to consistent spiritual growth through:
- Bible study,
- Fellowship,
- Godly counsel & instruction.
“Father, give me a teachable spirit. Help me to learn Your ways and grow into spiritual maturity. Amen.”
Consistency brings growth
