Saturday Rhapsody Of Realities - Keep Growing In The Word

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God (Hebrews 6:1).
There’re three kinds of men the Bible talks about: the old man, the new man, and the spiritual man. The old man is the natural man. The new man is the person who’s born again; his spirit is recreated. However, that new man isn’t all that God’s looking for. He wants the new man to become a spiritual man. Being born again is only the beginning of your journey with the Lord; you have to grow up unto maturity.
