Healthy things grow, mature and develop. It’s what they are intended to do.
As it comes to spiritual growth, development and maturing — it’s the same type of thing.
1 John 2:13
I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

We want to EQUIP people to know & follow Jesus.
The Apostle Paul discusses the role of the Church is to train up - EQUIP folks in their faith development…
Ephesians 4:11-13
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
YOU have gifting, passions and a purpose. We’re each UNIQUE, but we’re all called to UNITY under Christ. = Diverse & Different, but unified - becoming mature as the body of Christ.

discipleship is about PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT - equipping people as apprentices of Jesus. to be ones that 'follow him' and become more like him. This growing, maturing, equipping, development of one’s faith is often called: sanctification. Sanctification for the follower of Christ is normative, not optional.
The truth is everybody is in the process of being formed spiritually.
Paul, in Romans 12, says,
“Don’t be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of you mind.”
Paul suggests if you’re not being transformed by God’s renewing power, then you’re being conformed by the forces opposed to God.
Spiritual growth is about growing our inner DEPTH…getting the depth of Jesus and his character more and more formed within ours.
=His transformational work going on within us all the time, in every season, producing more and more of His depth within us!
depth IS what matters in a superficial world
