My Part

Before you continue reading quickly write the words, "my part" on a sticky note or small piece of paper and leave it within reach.
Consider this question:  Who is responsible for a Christ-Follower's spiritual growth. When Jesus called you to Himself, when you put your trust in Him and became a Christian, you began as an infant.  Our heavenly Father's expectation and desire is that you would grow up and become more like His Son.  So again, who is responsible to make this happen?  Who is responsible for Christian discipleship?  The answer is threefold: God, the church and you.

• God's part = provide His word through which the Holy Spirit does the internal work of transformation.
  
• The church's part = teach the word of God, equip and provide opportunities to make disciples.
  
• Your part = hear God's word and be encouraged by other disciples to obey Jesus.
  

Now I want you to pick up the piece of paper.  The responsibility to obey Jesus, to grow spiritually and become more like Him is in your hands.  You have the power to decide whether you will remain a spiritual infant or submit to your Father's will and grow up.

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation. - 1 Peter 2:2 (NIV)
