Growing in the Lord...

We introduced the "fathers" today in our study. These are mature believers who have intimate knowledge of God and because they know God, they know the dangers of the world. These are "spiritual saints" in our life and are ones that the "young men" and "children" can go to in time of need. As mature believers, they still have room to learn and ought to not be boastful about their knowledge but be humble to continue to strive and learn. These mature believers also should invest their lives into those who are younger than them. As you seek to apply these truths to your life, ask yourself: Am I investing my life in a younger believer? Am I seeking out a more mature believer who could help me grow more like Christ?
