The goal of the Christian life is to become more and more like Christ, as the Holy Spirit works in our spirits, producing fruit (Galatians 5:22–24). As we yield to the Spirit, He will guide us (Galatians 5:16, 25). Spiritual development occurs through reading God’s Word, prayer, fellowship with other believers, and active participation in a local church.  True stability in the Christian life comes not from planting two feet and holding fast, but from putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward, one grace-empowered step at a time.
