✦ Learning the Gospel

Lesson 13 of 28

Obedience and Spiritual Growth

Learn how grace produces a growing life of obedience without turning faith into rule-keeping.

1

Love leads to obedience

We do not obey to make Jesus love us. We obey because He already loves us and we love Him.

Where to read: John 14:15–24.

John 14:15

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

2

God works in us

Growth involves effort, but God supplies the desire and strength. We cooperate with His work in us.

Where to read: Philippians 2:12–13.

Philippians 2:13

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

3

Growth takes time

Spiritual maturity is a lifelong process. God uses Scripture, prayer, community, correction, and trials to shape us.

Where to read: 2 Peter 1:3–8.

2 Peter 3:18

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
