Growing in Grace

I need to develop godly attitudes.

A) Pray for godly attitudes in general & certain attitudes in particular.

B) Ask others to pray the same thing for you.

C) Repeat the attitude to help it sink in. Do this in conjunction with A & B!

Attitudes.

1. You are saved by faith alone, but not by faith that remains alone. (Tim Keller)

2. True faith in the Lord Jesus Christ launches you on a long obedience in the same direction.

3. True faith in Jesus leads to real fruit in your life.

I need to grow in prayer.

A great way to do this is to learn to pray the Bible. Pray this prayer until you can pray without reading:

This prayer is from John 15:2, 5

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the vine. By adoption and grace I am one of Your branches. Please help me to abide in You, as You abide in me, so that I will bear much fruit. Please help me to humbly accept the wise pruning of my Father in Heaven, who prunes my life so I will bear more fruit, all to Your glory. Amen.

I need to get God’s word in my mind and heart.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

I need to do something or start to do something.

Complete the following sentence: “In light of God’s word, the Holy Spirit is leading me to __________________________.”
