Christian personal development can mean many things to different people. I like to define Christian personal development as a person maturing in thought, words and actions. This definition leaves much to be defined.
What is Christian maturity? When looking at a maturity from Christian perspective, it is about love, forgiveness and service. Maturing comes from a change of heart which comes from hearing the good news – The Gospel and having faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ.
What is The Gospel? It is the story of what Jesus has done for each and every one of us. It doesn’t matter if you have heard or not, if you believe or not, Jesus took our sin and our punishment and He gave us His righteousness – His perfection to us.
When we believe in what Jesus has done for us we are seen as perfect in the sight of God. We didn’t have to be punished. All we had to do was believe.
Christian personal development.
Another words we can come to Him broken, an addict, an adulterer, a thief, a murderer or whatever the worst thing is you can think of and He will accept you and give you a perfect spirit. A spirit that can’t do wrong or sin. A spirit that has wisdom and knowledge and power to do what is right and pleasing.
Jesus died on a cross for all of our sins, He took our curses, our diseases, our sins and dealt with them. Every sin, every sickness, every pain, every relationship has been dealt with.
This what is called the grace of God or the favor of God. We get the god things we shouldn’t because of God’s love for us. We get peace, joy, confidence, to walk with God on Earth, to go to heaven.
