“‘‘If you can said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for one who believes.’ Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’” — Mark 9:23-24, NIV
So, how do we grow spiritually? Mark 9 tells about a man who came to Jesus to ask him to heal his son who was possessed with an impure spirit. The father of the boy asks Jesus to do anything if he can. Jesus responds by saying that “everything is possible for one who believes.” The man responds by asking for help in overcoming his unbelief.
When we want to grow spiritually, we can start by asking Jesus for help, just like the man in Mark 9 did. He will honor our request and efforts to grow closer to him.
Some other ways we can promote spiritual growth include:
- Connecting with other Christians
- Studying the Bible
- Forming prayer habits
- Showing love to others
- Obeying the Word of God
