Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, MAY GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS, which is the head, even Christ:

Hosea 14:5‭-‬7 I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon. His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon. Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

The end goal of our Growth or Transformation is TO GROW UP INTO CHRIST IN ALL THINGS.

At this moment, when you are born again, YOU ARE IN CHRIST. But CHRIST must also grow in you until He is fully formed in you as a FULL GROWN MAN (what we call the Teleios). Then we will not only say You are in Christ;  But also, Christ Is In You.

There is a reason why we looked at the stages of metamorphosis of the butterfly ( from egg to adult butterfly); There is a certain parallel between your spiritual growth(transformation) and that metamorphosis. Spiritually, every Child of God must grow from a

▪︎Brephos to a

▪︎Nepios to a

▪︎Paidon to a

▪︎Teknon to a

▪︎Huios to a

▪︎Teleios

in Christ.

So you see?, The question is not how many years you have been born again, but HOW MUCH YOU HAVE GROWN IN CHRIST after you were born again? Selah. I pray for you, that you will grow from Grace to Grace and knowledge to knowledge into CHRIST in all things. Amen!

Don’t remain a spiritual baby – GROW IN CHRIST. Hallelujah!
