3) Spiritual Child: starting to grow and learn - 1 Jn. 2:12; 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12; Philemon 1:8-11
This person has a faith in Christ, a basic understanding of God’s Word, and is beginning to reflect Jesus in their actions, but they aren’t always consistent. Their faith is often influenced by their circumstances and emotions. The spiritual child will grow as they understand their identity in Christ, find freedom from struggles with sin, and seek opportunities to begin serving.
