8 Attributes and Habits

Marks of one who is growing In Christ:

  1. Hunger and thirst for more of God, to grow in Him Ephes 4:15-16 2 Pet 3:18
  2. Love to talk, share and fellowship with others about Christ where ever and whenever possible  1 Thess 5:11 Heb 10:23-25
  3. Desire to read the bible to learn all about God, who He is, what He has done & put into practice what it instructs 1 Peter 2:2-3  Psalm 1:2  2 Tim 2:16
  4. Becoming progressively sensitive to sin and adjusting our life in forsaking it   1 John 2:1-6 Rom 12:9
  5. Prayer is daily and continually practiced Col 4:2   1Thess 5:17   Ephes 6:18
  6. Wherever you go, whatever you speak, whatever you think, and whatever you participate in, you are conscious that God sees and you have a healthy fear of Him – to obey and please Him Luke 7:16   2 Cor 7:1   Ephes 5:21 Heb 12:28
  7. You desire to purify yourself, in the holiness of God and progressively desire to be separate from the world 1 John 3:3 2 Cor 6:16-18   1 Peter 1:15
  8. Praise and thanksgiving are not something that you must ‘work up’ because it flows easily from you and you will desire to express this to God often Heb 13:15 1 Thess 5:16

It is the Spirit who will give us the desire to pursue God in these ways.  We must seek after God always for His Spirit to convict, lead, guide and teach to all truth.   As we love God with all our heart, mind and soul  He gives us His Spirit to help us walk rightly before Him with His passion.  Mark 12:30.
