Growing Your Faith into Maturity But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48.
When you were born again, you were born into a whole new way of life. At first you continued to act in many of the ways you acted before your new birth. When people offended you, you struck back, delivering a wound for a wound. When people said unkind things about you, you said unkind things about them. You loved people who loved you and behaved in a hateful manner toward those who were hateful. But now it’s time to grow up. I want you to become more mature and complete in your faith. Immature faith loves a neighbor but hates an enemy. Mature faith behaves as your Father in heaven would behave, not just loving your neighbor but loving your enemy as well. Mature faith prays for those who hate you or persecute you. In fact, mature faith looks for ways to bless those who hurt you. I’m not asking you to change your emotions or feelings. I’m asking you to have faith in your Father and in Me and to change your behavior. Do as We do. Then you will be complete and mature, just as your Father is.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. John 15:13–14.
Blessings, Eva.
