Ephesians 4:13-15 MEV
The Keys To Spiritual Growth

God's will and plan for every believr is to grow up spiritually. As this growth progresses, we will think, talk, and act much more like Jesus.  Our part in this process is cooperate with God as He works faithfully in each of us to make this happen!  We will not grow without God's help, and He cannot make us grow independant of our obedience and cooperation. 

What's true in the natural realm is true in the spiritual realm - Healthy things grow! Everything that we need to grow up spiritually has been promised and provided.
