Christians who remain spiritually immature are so because they are not planting seeds of maturity, nor are they watering them, and so God cannot produce spiritual growth.

As Christians, we need to be actively engaged in spiritual growth, which means we must practice practical and biblical disciplines. Without these biblical and spiritual disciplines and practices, we cannot think that we are growing spiritually just because we can say, “Lord, Lord.”

The inner life of a Christian is living in the day-to-day process of transformation by the Holy Spirit in our midst. This inner life is brought by daily meditation (reading, thinking of, pondering) on the Word of God.

Contentment is a spiritual discipline because it is an internal posture that takes control over our physical environment. Contentment is not about having all you need, it is about being okay even if you are in need of something.

Spiritual maturity is found only by living in the Word of God. Spiritual maturity is the birth of emotional maturity. Therefore, emotional immaturity is a symptom of spiritual immaturity.

Biblical emotional resilience for spiritual maturity is when we have the ability to feel our emotions and remain steadfast in our faith through the Holy Spirit. Our faith is an internal posture that is the foundation of all we do, feel, say, and actively think.
