Growing in Godliness: Leaving Childish Ways Behind

Episode Overview

  • Many problems stem from childish behaviour.
  • Paul’s teachings highlight the importance of selfless love.
  • Spiritual leaders often need to address congregations like children.
  • True transformation comes from the Holy Spirit within us.
  • Believers should strive for both physical and spiritual maturity.
As long as we remain a child, the voice of others will come at us like we're children.
In this episode of Road of Redemption, Daniel Irving explores the deep connection between growing in godliness and reaching adulthood. Drawing from scripture, he emphasises how many of our problems stem from childish behaviour. Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians 13 serve as a foundation, highlighting the importance of selfless, sacrificial love and the necessity of leaving behind childish ways to mature spiritually.
Irving shares his personal reflections on how spiritual leaders often need to address congregations like children due to a lack of spiritual growth. He points out that while this may sometimes be necessary, it should not become the norm. Instead, believers should strive to grow in both physical and spiritual maturity, aligning their actions with God’s love and character. The episode also discusses the limitations of legalistic rules and how true transformation comes from the Holy Spirit working within us.
Irving encourages listeners to embrace spiritual maturity, moving beyond elementary teachings and developing a deeper understanding of love and obedience. This episode is a thought-provoking journey into the importance of growing up both naturally and spiritually, urging believers to strive for a more profound connection with God and others.
