How do I grow as a Christian?
Answer
Growth comes from staying close to Jesus, the way a branch stays joined to the vine. Read the Bible, pray honestly, gather with other believers, serve, and keep trusting him through both joy and hardship. You do not grow by trying harder alone, but by abiding in him.
“John 15:5” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.
A prayer was here before you
You stand where others have stood, uncertain and longing. In the quiet moments, open your hands and your heart to the words you find. Let the stories of those around you breathe life into your own. There is strength in the gathering. Trust in the path ahead. Amen.
Someone in the family wrote this for whoever would one day read these words. You were thought of before you got here. If you want, a real person will pray with you, by name, at no cost and with no account. Ask them to pray with you.
Take the next step
You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
