Being born again means GOD has forgiven our sins and brought us into personal relationship with Him, that is salvation, being born again. GOD intended us to grow spiritually.
Evidences that you are growing in the LORD;
- I am becoming increasingly aware my sinfulness I understand more and more and become sensitive to things that are not right, does not fit to who you are.
- Our response to sin, repentance is immediately, we repent straight away.
- Our spiritual battle become more and more intense yet we are still rejoicing. You began to realise the spiritual battles are hard but they are opportunities.
- Test and trials are opportunities for us to grow.
- We see the service to GOD as a high honour not as a burden. You are putting yourself in a position for GOD to bless you.
- Able to see everything coming from Him. GOD allows it for a reason, if you see it coming from me you won’t get hostile, angry or frustrated. Nobody can do anything to child of GOD unless GOD allows it.
- Our faith will get stronger. The things used to bother you won’t bother you any more, the places you used to go you won’t want to go any more, the things you used to want you don’t want anymore, the people you used to see you won’t want to see them anymore, and you see it coming from Him and you thank GOD.
- More time spending time with GOD and worship Him.
When you are growing in the LORD you want to be part of fellowship, you want to be in His Word, you want somebody explain the Word of GOD, you see everything as an opportunity. We chose what we want to hear.
- Our desire to obey Him become more and more intense and sin becomes very unattractive. The more we live like LORD Jesus the less we will put up with sin in our life. GOD wants us to live a sanctified life. A sanctified life is a life set apart by GOD through the Holy Spirit to live a godly life.
- The more and more eager to share what Christ doing in our life. You want to tell who LORD Jesus is.
- We are experiencing and becoming ever more aware His presence with us. The godlier Christ like you become there are somethings you will not do or say, He is here with us and somethings you don’t tolerate in your life.
- You guard your private devotion and prayers. You cannot grow physically without being fed properly. Word of GOD feeds us spiritually.
- You will know how well growing when you love to spend time alone with GOD.
- The more you grow in the LORD the more you give to others.
- Continuous hunger in your heart. You are always satisfied when you spend time with Him.
- If you are growing you will feel GOD’s love.
