GOING ON TO PERFECTION

The journey of faith begins with the joy of new believers in Christ, akin to "sprouts" in need of time and nurturing. As we move from basic teachings toward spiritual maturity (Heb. 6:1), it's essential to allow growth while ensuring progress in the right direction. God provides for our needs, protects us, and empowers us through Christ and fellow believers. In contrast, we face hindrances from Satan, who instigates distractions and false doctrines. Embrace the desire for spiritual growth and press on to perfection in the faith!
