Grace for your spirit July 30, 2014

Grace for your spirit
My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--Galatians 4:19

The apostle Paul soon recognized that the distance between our conversion and our Christian maturity can be a long road.  When we obey the gospel and our baptized into Christ, we are in Christ, but is Christ in us?  Although we are new creatures, many times much of our past remains in us.  As we mature in Christ, His nature continues to crowd out our nature until Christ is fully formed in us.  If this work and labor is ignored, growth can stop.  Let's labor, not only to win souls to Christ, but labor until Christ is formed in them and us.
