Great! You agree that there is God.
Now, you may be asking “which god?”
In this journey, we are talking about the supreme personal being who is the Creator of all realities.
As such, God is holy, just, and righteous. He also defines goodness, beauty, and truth. God is love. He is light and life.
Here is the next statement.
Praise God that you are helping others grow in their relationships with Jesus! That is a sign of spiritual maturity.
Mature Christians are able to help others not because they are perfect or better than others but because maturity is characterized by generosity and the ability to give. Mature Christians are not concerned only about themselves but also about the interests of others (Philippians 2:4).
Now, one more statement.
Wonderful!
Sharing your faith with others benefits not only them but also you. It is one of the surest ways to experience the love and power of God in your life.
Many Christians want to grow spiritually. Some help others grow. A few regularly share their faith. And yet, they are all important in your spiritual journey with Jesus and in becoming more like Christ.
You are farther on your spiritual journey than most Christians!
We encourage you to “excel still more” (1 Thessalonians 4:1), particularly in making disciples, sharing your faith, and helping others in their journey with Christ.
You may already have tools and resources for evangelism and discipleship. That is great!
If not, use the “Share Jesus” section in this JO App to share the Gospel and the “Personal Growth” section to disciple others.
We also recommend “Time with God”.
The “Time with God” section is designed to help you grow more intimate in your fellowship with God.
When Jesus spoke with the Father just before He was betrayed and arrested, He talked about the union of believers with the Trinity.
“The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one—I in them and you in me—that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.” (John 17:22–23)
Just as Jesus and the Father are one, in our new life in Christ, we are meant to be one with God—Jesus in us, and the Father in the Son.
The union of God and man is first and foremost realized in the person of Jesus who is 100% divine and 100% human. The new humanity is perfectly united with God in Jesus.
We do not lose our individuality in this union with God. Rather, in it, we are perfected and become who we are meant to be. While we will not reach the perfect union in this life as Jesus has with the Father, it is a worthy goal to pursue. Then, our life will be fruitful as well.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me—and I in him—bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.” (John 15:5)

You are not sure if God exists.
You may be an agnostic who doesn’t think we can know anything about God. You neither believe nor disbelieve in God. If so, you may be interested in “Has Science Discovered God?“.
Or, you may not have thought much about God until now.
You may be spiritual, believing in the supernatural reality but never really thought about the existence of a creator of all realities.
If you are open to exploring the existence of God, that is a great place to begin your spiritual journey. There are several articles that discuss the existence of the Creator. Select the title below to go to the series.
The God of the Bible is love. Because He is holy, His love is absolutely good and pure. You can learn more about Him, starting with “Choose God’s Love.”
