The Christian Life is a Process

Treat the process as it is, a process.

Anything great will take time, energy, and hardship.

People don’t randomly become professionals at their sport, it’s a process that took years to build up the skillset.

Why should the Christian life be any different?

Why are you expecting years of developed habits from your old identity automatically stop in your new identity in Christ?

In some cases, it is automatic.

For example, your eternal destiny from death to life is automatic.

Your standing with how God sees you and views you is automatic

In my case, getting delivered from frequent cursing and psych medication was automatic.

Other aspects of my life and your life still need work, and thats ok.

It’s apart of the Christian life.

Establish your strengths, and build upon your weaknesses.

Grow your overall faith and make an effort.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters,^[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,- 1 Peter 1:10a

When you do fall short in certain areas, get back up, and give yourself grace.

Don’t fall for the devil’s condemnation.

If you are doing the Christian life right, your progress will look something like this:

Down seasons and slight dips are expected, but as long as your overall trajectory is up and into the right, you’re living right.

Be encouraged this week.
