Billy Graham’s Devotion 12 March 2018
Topic: Growing as a Christian
Key Verse: Dear brothers, I have been talking to you as though you were still just babies in the Christian life . . . – 1 Corinthians 3:1 (TLB)
Message: Some people have received Christ but have never reached spiritual maturity. They have been in church all their lives, and yet they have never become mature Christians. They are still considered “spiritual children” and “babes in Christ.” They know little Scripture. They have little desire to pray, and bear few of the marks of a Christian in their daily living. To say, “I will resolve to do better, I will muster all my willpower and revise my way of living,” is noble, but futile. A corpse could as well say, “I will through sheer effort-rise out of this coffin and be a living man again.” You need a power outside yourself. You cannot get over the habits and chains that are binding you. You need outside help. You need Christ. Billy Graham’s Devotion 12 March 2018
The Bible tells of a bridge of faith which reaches from the valley of despair to the high hills of glorious hope in Christ. It tells where we are, but beyond that-it tells where we may be in Christ. Now, of course, you will not be completely mature until you are in the presence of Christ, but you should be growing every day as a Christian.
Prayer for the day: Billy Graham’s Devotion 12 March 2018
Lord, work through me this day, that I might be maturing as a Christian and come to know You better, that I might know Your perfect will for me.
Hope you are blessed by God’s Word through Billy Graham’s Devotion 12 March 2018
