Characteristics of the Church – Building up Believers

Characteristics of the Church – Building up Believers

Ephesians 4:11-16

It’s vitally important we grow as Christians because growing Christians are:

• Full of joy
• Willing Christians
• Less vulnerable to temptation

Two ways that we can grow as Christians:

• By studying God’s Word together
• Through close fellowship with other Christians

Evidences of Growth:

You know you’re growing:

• If your commitment is to God and His Word and not to some person or church organization
• If you’re regular in your attendance at worship
• If you’re regularly reading God’s Word and spending some time in prayer
• You will have an effective Christian witness if you’re growing in your faith
