The following statements will help you focus and bring clarity to your thoughts and beliefs. Answer them honestly. There are no right or wrong answers.

Now, you may be asking “which god?”

It is impossible to live the new life in Christ apart from being filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit causes our spiritual growth and maturity, but we have a critical role to play in our relationship with God.

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).
