Devotion: Day 5

? DAY 5 — GOD’S GOAL IS MATURITY

Scripture
Ephesians 4:13 — “…until we all come… to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”

Reflection
God’s goal isn’t just that you be saved.
His goal is that you become like Christ.

Spiritual maturity means:
growing in love
growing in wisdom
growing in obedience
growing in character
Growth takes time, but God is shaping you daily.

Illustration
A sculptor removes pieces of stone until the image appears.
God is shaping Christ’s image in you —
removing pride, fear, sin, and doubt.

Quote
? “Saved people should grow people.”

Prayer
Lord, continue shaping me into Your image. Give me patience in the process and faith that You are still working in me. Amen.

Action Step

Reflect and write:
Where have I grown spiritually this year?
What is one area God wants to mature in me next?
