Principles of Spiritual Growth – Self

One of the most important factors in Christian growth is the Holy Spirit’s revelation of the self-life to the believer. Self is the fleshly, carnal life of nature, the life of the first Adam describe in Ephesians 2:1 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. Even the Apostle Paul in the height of his ministry understood how difficult it is for us not to be a selfish person when he wrote Romans 7:18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. Nowhere do spiritual principles mean more than here. Plato, with his “Know thyself,” was more right than he knew but still only half right. Paul, in Galatians 2:20 …It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me… Was 100% right!
