Losing My Religion - Adam Smith “Fruit Check“ - 4.28.24
Manage episode 415091183 series 1107338
It’s easy to assume Christian maturity is following the strictest rules, memorizing the most verses, and meeting the highest standards. We can tend to think the less joy we exude, the more spiritual we are. But Jesus didn’t seem to share this perception. He was less concerned with the rules people followed then the health of the relationships they were a part of. He believed if God was truly working in you, it would positively impact everyone around you. He was convinced that if your life wasn’t becoming more peaceful, patient, kind, and self-controlled, then you weren’t really living life His way. What would it look like to take Jesus’ definition of spiritual maturity seriously? And how would we implement it?
