Growing in Christ - The Navigators
Introduction
Jesus Christ said, Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me
(Revelation 3:20). Coupled with this wonderful truth is the statement in the gospel of John that to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
(John 1:12).
If you have to the best of your knowledge received Jesus Christ, God’s Son, as your own Savior, according to the Scriptures quoted above you have become a child of God.
Too many people make the mistake of measuring the certainty of their salvation by their feelings. Don’t make this tragic mistake. Believe God! Take Him at His word: I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life
(1 John 5:13).
It is impossible in the short space of this book to go into all the results of the transaction that took place when you received Christ. A child may be born into a wealthy home and become the possessor of good parents, brothers and sisters, and houses and lands; but at the time of his birth it is not necessary that he be informed of all these things. There are more important matters to take care of first. He must be protected, for he has been born into a world of many enemies. In the hospital room he is handled with sterilized gloves and kept from outsiders that he might not fall victim to countless germs waiting to attack. He must be given nourishment regularly, and protected from exposure to extreme heat or cold.
You have become a child of God; you have been born into His family as a spiritual babe. You have the potential to live the rest of your life in victorious obedience to God. It is our desire to share with you a few simple truths that will strengthen you and keep you safe from the onslaughts of Satan.
In 1 Peter 2:2 you will read, Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.
And in Acts 20:32 you will read, Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up.
His Word will now serve as your spiritual food and will build you up in the faith.
You probably have a Bible. If not, get one and begin to read it faithfully every day. It is important that you
