Mature To The Glory Of God
Maturity in the life of an elect is not simply about how long we have been saved or how much we know about the Bible. It is about becoming increasingly transformed so that our lives bring glory to God. Through the Gospel of the water and the Spirit, through the finished work of Christ accomplished through Jesus’ baptism, death, and resurrection, tremendous internal transformation takes place within us. This transformation should be reflected through the way we live, causing us to glorify God and draw others toward Him.
Serving the Lord with all Humility
Serving the Lord is not only about what we do, but also about the manner of life we live as we serve Him. Acts 20:19 describes Paul as serving the Lord “with all humility, with many tears and trials.” His life shows us that serving God is not always easy or comfortable. There will be challenges, opposition and difficult seasons, but true service is marked by humility and a willingness to remain faithful through it all.
The True Test Of Humility
Humility is easy to display when we do not know much. We may be eager to learn, willing to listen and quick to recognise that there is still much for us to grow in. But the true test of humility comes when we have gained knowledge, experience, influence and even respect from others. Can we still maintain that same lowliness of mind when we know more?
Humility That God Sees
There is a kind of humility that God sees in our lives. It is not simply about appearing humble before people, because there is also a false humility that can look humble on the outside while actually being driven by pride. Colossians 2:18 warns us about “false humility,” showing us the importance of discerning the humility that God is looking for in us. This humility is produced by the Spirit of Christ and is part of the transformation that takes place through the Gospel of water and the Spirit.
