We see here from these *Vs*.
that *we are to grow to maturity* in Christ.
When we *1st come into the kingdom* of God (born again), we are *born* as *spiritual babies*.
*We* can & should grow *from babies to children to,* “A *perfect man*, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
Or in other words, *GROW TO MATURITY*.
All of us here today have grown.
We are not the same spiritually as we were when we were born again, but we should *never think* that *we've arrived* no matter where we are, *we still need to grow*.
*I.*
But *before a person* *can grow* into the maturity which (*/EPH 4/*) is talking about, but the question is, How do we grow?
*A.
*In order for a person to grow it is essential that they *have* a *revelation* of *who Jesus is*.
The *Church is built* *on this revelation*.
*1.*
*Peter* *had* a *revelation* of *who Christ is*.
*/MAT.
16:13‑16/*
*B.*
*Everyone* who is *born again* *must have this revelation*.
*1.
*(*/Romans 10:9‑10 NIV/*) “*/That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
(10) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved/*.”
*a.*
I really feel that a person* has to have the revelation* that *Jesus is the Lord*, the *Messiah*, the *Christ* *&* they have to *believe* that *Jesus is risen* from the dead.
And I think that the Word bears that out.
*B.*
*There are benefits for having this revelation* of Jesus.
One of them is listed right here.
*/MAT.
16:17-19/ *(explain Peter Petros, Rock petra & Christ)
*1.* */1st/* of all Jesus is saying that *if you're saved*, *if* you *have this revelation* of who Jesus is, *then you will have the keys to unlock the **/treasures/ of heaven*.
*a.
*Things like *Peace, Prosperity, Provision, Joy, Love, Fulfillment, Purpose in life, health, & healing*.
*2.
/2nd/* you will be *able to unlock or loosen* *those* that are *bound*.
*a.*
*Through* your *confession* over them, by your *prayers*, & by the things you *speak to them*, the authority that you have as a believer.
*3.
/3rd/* you can stop *or bind Satan's actives*, in your life and with a certain amount of success with others.
(The man in Ironwood that wanted me to bind the evil spirits that were tormenting him.)
*a.*
*These are* the some of the *rewards* *or* *benefits* *for* those that *receive* the *revelation* that *Jesus is the Christ*.
*II.
*At the beginning of the message I asked how are we going to grow?
Another *important step in growing* is to *get* our *minds renewed to the Word* of God., *finding out who we are in Christ* & *that's when we* begin to *grow to maturity* in Him.
*A.*
People often wonder, How they are going to maturity in Christ, How is renewing their minds to the Word going to cause them to mature?
*1.*
In (*/JOHN 14:17/*) it tells us that the Holy Spirit will be in you...
*2.*
We have the very presence of God the HS living in our inner man.
But there is also something else that happened.
*B.
When we received Jesus* in our heart, *we took* on the *nature of God*.
*1.* */2PE 1:1‑4/* We are *partakers* of the *divine nature*.
*a.*
This is who we are in Christ.
But I like to put it this way; “*/We are partakers of His Divine Nature when we are living and walking in Christ/*.”
*i.*
That's why it says in (*/EPH 5:1/*) “*/Be ye therefore followers (imitators) of God, as dear children;/*” (KJV)
*b.
**/1COR 2:16/* The Bible says that *you have the mind of Christ*.
*c.* *Jesus is God*.
*You have* the *mind of God*.
*Your partakers* of *His divine nature*.
*2.*
In the Word of God we find out that *we are supposed to confess the Word*.
& Not to confess *the negative, not the problem*.
*3.*
In the book of *PROVERBS* it says in (*/PRO 18:21/*) “*/Death and life {are} in the power of the tongue/*:”
*4.
**/JAM 3:3‑5/* James *compares* the *tongue to a bit in a horse's mouth*.
*a.*
He says that *the bit can change the horses' direction* in life.
*b.*
The *same is true with us*, the *words* that *we speak can change our course of life*.
*c.*
He says the same thing here in (*/V 4/*), with a *ship & it's rudder*.
The *rudder can change* its *whole course*.
*Same with the tongue*.
*4.
**/REV 12:11/* *Overcoming* the *enemy by the word of our testimony* *is* *using our divine nature*.
*a.*
*How* did *Jesus overcome* the *enemy*?
*With the* *Word* of God.
You can look it up in (*/MAT 4:1-11/*).
*Each time* the *Devil came* to Him, *He replied*, “*/It is written/*.”
*B.
*Turn with me to */JOHN 1:12/* We're talking about *who we are in Christ*.
*1.* *Because we are in Christ, we are the sons of God*.
*i.* (*/Romans 8:17/*) “*/And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together/*.”
(KJV)
*2.*
(*/1JO 3:24/*) Says that *Christ abideth in us*, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
*3.
*(*/Colossians 2:9‑10/*) “*/For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
(10) And ye are /**/complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:/* ”
*4.
*In (*/GEN 1:26/*) God says that *we're made in God's image*.
*a.*
We're *starting to see who we are in Christ*.
*III.*
*We're transformed in Christ*.
*/ROM 12:1‑2/ *
*A.
*Our *thoughts* are *being renewed*, our *actions* are *being renewed*, & our *attitudes* are *being renewed*.
*B.*
*There is a process* in *being renewed*.
*/Eph 4:22‑24/ *
*1.*
*/1st/* (*/V.
22/*) says to “*/Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts/*;”
*a.*
The */NIV/* says, “*/to put off your old self/*.”
*b.
**/2nd/* it says in (*/V 23/),* “*/And be renewed in the spirit of your mind/*.”
