Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Has Jesus Christ set you free from the law of sin and death? Has sin been removed as an obstacle in hearing God by faith? If you are born again, congratulations, let us talk in faith.

If you have not received Jesus Christ into your heart and become a new creation, born again, then any further discussion will not render you any help in this endeavor. Only those born again may receive by faith anything else that we have to say on these matters. I encourage you to review all that has been said so far this year on this subject and do an earnest evaluation of your condition. Do you have it in you to accept that free will offering that is a life in Jesus Christ?

I have simply put everything that is required for rebirth and to open this dialogue with our God. Now we begin listening and speaking with God by faith.

For the benefit of all, I will begin with this initial conversation, that moment when God first spoke to you by faith. It is a way of speaking to you that is not natural. It is not heard with the ear as readily as your native tongue. As we said before, it is received and spoken in the new heart condition. Since this is the case for the new born in Christ, let us talk as children.

Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

I came to Christ in my forties. It does not matter at what age you are reborn you are a babe in Christ. That is a difficult thing for a grown man to admit. Some get it, some reject it, but we should not deny it. If we do not accept that we are babes in Christ that fact alone will hinder growth.

1 Peter 2:2-3 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

The milk of the Word of God is merely the good news, the gospel. Drink it in and allow it to cause you to grow in Christ because it is the language primer of faith. To know it and to learn it with complete understanding, is to open the ears and eyes of understanding by faith.

The correlation between a new born and a newborn is Christ should encourage you in the method of growth in Christ. Mother’s milk is rich in fat causing a healthy baby to grow fast and develop a healthy appetite. As with babies, not all can move on to solid foods at the same rate, they must develop a stomach to digest other nutrients.

Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

Psalm 34:10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing. (NASB)

2 Peter 2:17-18 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

A steadfast diet of His Word promotes growth in Christ.
