Growth as Christians..

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

-Hebrews 10:25-

Indeed, when a log burns on its own, the flame will soon extinguish, and so it's the same for our relationship with other Christians. This is essential to grow in our relationship with God as Christians can help one another by, keeping each other accountable for the things that they hope to achieve, eg. Read the Bible more regularly or studying hard for examinations, spur one another and encouraging each other.

We are a witness for Christ by the way we live as Christians. For example, an adult is judged by his or her maturity in the way he or she deals with things in life, while a righteous person is judged by his or her actions. And it is the same for Christians, not in hope of getting favour of those around you by doing good deeds, but to show your love for God. Our hearts are what God sees, and not our physical actions and words. Therefore, to grow in our relationship with God, we have to pray for a sincere heart to express love to those around you, through your every action, thought and word. Even so, do not reach such a state where you start judging those around you, because there is not a single soul on Earth that is holy and perfect. Eveyone has his own weaknesses and flaws to improve on.Matthew 7:3-6 describes how we tend to worry about and judge other people's flaws when we ourselves have ours to worry about. Remove the plank in your eye before you are able to see clearly the speck in your friend's eye.
